WE>ME

About

ABOUT US

Through harnessing the power of inclusive activism, we believe that people can tap into the dynamic power of community to achieve more than would be seen as previously possible. Understanding that We>me creates powerful teams who work together with a humming synergy, unmatched productivity, and a sense of collective purpose.

We are committed to identifying and eliminating processes and practices which hinder community creation. Be it systemic “ism,” or needing to redefine conflict as an opportunity to do something different, something better. We are passionate about our work and co-creating communities of shared leadership.

We see and recognize the need for social sustainability in all things. We are committed to systems thinking where a true balance is recognized and acknowledged to create proper balance. True sustainability in systems means no people, groups, or departments can be allowed to be oppressed at the privilege of another group of people, groups, or departments. These systems need to be more balanced and sustainable due to their lack of equity.

Additionally, due to our study of critical scholarship, we believe and see that those most oppressed by systemic inequity most often have the best ideas of how to fix these systems in more permanent and in more socially sustainable ways which benefit all. Those most hurt by a system have the best sense of new ideas of how we can become our best selves and create new possibilities for mutual gain.

If we can help you leverage the power of inclusive activism and leadership, please get in touch with us! We have professional speakers – workshops – we moderate discussion panels and offer consultation services to make you the best at what you do!

Current work focus areas:

Leadership and Rehabilitation
We all get stuck into patterns of being that could be more helpful at times. In our eyes, addiction is more than relying on drugs or alcohol. All are not stuck or static beings. We are in constant processes of evolution or de-evolution. Inclusive Activism will help you look at yourself, your company, and your group and analyze your current ways of being, which are getting sub-par results and a negative culture. Through our communicative acts, we see our mindset patterns at play. Once we analyze those thought patterns and look at how we and others need to be valued and appreciated, we can make dynamic shifts in how we show up and how we can change our patterns of being for all our best benefit!

Indigenizing Systems
All systems are infected with colonial thinking patterns designed for two major outcomes – marginalization and exploitation. Western thinking has a hierarchy of importance and values and relies on systems of control and embedded powerlessness from subordinates. This creates low-trust environments and less than optimal relations.  In truth, all team members are necessary and equally important parts of a group. To move beyond just Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, we must attempt to get back to the ways of being all people engaged in when they were once known as people of the land of ______ (their original ancestral homelands). 

Psychedelic Assisted Integration Coaching
In this newest area of work, we will examine how our ways of being and thinking led us to the person we are now. With a doctor’s prescription, clients use Ketamine to gain a unique perspective into themselves. While psychedelics are helpful for processing trauma, depression and anxiety, it is also a way to audit our mindset and our chosen perceptions of our world and see more abundance than scarcity. We believe that there is an inner healing wisdom that psychedelics help us unlock as we engage in the work of becoming our best selves. You are more than a disorder. You are a whole lovely, wonderful human with weaknesses, issues, and problematic patterns – as well as – gifts, strengths, skills, and abilities. More about Psychedelic Assisted Integration Coaching

General Rate

Currently, my per-hour rate is $600 through the rest of 2024. This reflects the increase of work I have been called upon for since the summer of 2020 post-George Floyd. This is to offset the additional administration time, to accommodate work/life balance, and to acknowledge skills and knowledge built. We appreciate your acknowledgment and support!
