Where is the human element?
You thought that you were going to make an impact and changes lives.
Lack of diversity, equity, and inclusion has been a huge wrong that businesses have tried to right, but many DE&I Professionals and Business owners feel like they are just playing the numbers game instead of creating a culture of true belonging in the workplace.
It’s not for lack of trying or passion - many people don’t have the right tools to be able to make real progress in actual DE&I application in business.
-
Trainings don’t matter if the culture is broken.
-
Strategy is no good if people don't have a voice.
-
And numbers don’t matter if there is no belonging.
Antiquated beliefs and tools in DE&I business application are keeping your business from growing in an inclusive way.
We have to shift the belief that numbers are more important than culture.
Meaningful implementation of diversity, equity, and inclusion must start with each and every individual in the organization and be taken on as a problem by everyone, and not just the person in the DE&I position.
I'm ready to make this change, show me the offer >
We need to meet people where they are and forgo judgement around the education gap.
We need to create real solutions that add to the current strategy - and empathy, belonging, and compassion need to be brought back into the equation.
This is why we're providing training with an emphasis on
It’s not enough anymore to hit the numbers and mandate trainings.
We’re shifting focus to improving our corner of the world and fostering a diverse community, putting empathy back into social justice and doing our part as DE&I Professionals and Business Owners to make a difference.
It’s time to finally feel confident, informed, and have actionable steps.
I’m Lekeshia Angelique. Army Veteran, Mom, Coach, Taco Aficionado, and creator of safe spaces to educate folx. The key to change is knowledge and empathy. It is important to me to create a culture of knowledge, as the more knowledgeable we are of one another’s experiences, the more likely it is that we will take the steps to effect change.
While working for over 20 years for the U.S Army and the Federal Government, I have taken many different paths that have led me to where I am today.
Most often, I have been the only Black woman in powerful meetings. I’ve had to learn not only to have a seat at the table but a voice while there.
Time and again, I saw the need to empower more women in leadership roles and the massive need to fill the gaps in businesses around diversity, equity, and inclusion education.
My unique educational background has also led me (unknowingly) to be in the position I am in today, owning my own business doing exactly what I love. I completed a year under the mentorship of the Diversity and Inclusion Executive at Colgate, where I gained valuable lessons and practical, hands-on experience in a large corporate setting.
This path has given me the confidence to move away from corporate life where, after a time, I found myself miserable. It has taught me about failure, empathy, mentoring, and the ability to meet people where they’re at without judgement.
My mission is to empower not just Black women but every human to have a powerful voice and an equitable seat at any table they desire to be seated at.

Currently Enrolling Next Cohort!
We can afford more of the same..
Without meaningful work inside your organization's culture, it's only a matter of time before there is a DE&I crisis.
Stop wondering what you can do with your current tools, and learn how to infuse belonging into your organization now!
I'm ready to expand my impact >You have questions, we have answers.
I have my own biases, will I be able to be an effective DE&I consultant or practitioner?
What types of industries is this program for? I’ve not seen much happening in mine.
This problem is too large for just me, will I really be able to be successful in pushing for change?
We live in a capitalist society; I don't believe executives actually care about DE&I. Why would they hire consultants, provide this training to their employees, or create internal programs?
I want to help you infuse inclusive messaging and processes into current business practices so you can find success and make a REAL impact in your business community.
Become a part of the inclusivity movement, start making real change, and gain a competitive edge in your business!
