Our Core Practices and Beliefs

1. Relationship Before Transaction

We begin every engagement with conversation, not contracts. We take time to understand your story, context, and capacity before proposing any scope of work.  This allows us to co-create processes that are relational, not extractive.

In practice:

• We offer exploratory calls without obligation.  

• We prioritize mutual discernment—ensuring alignment before commitment.  

• We stay connected beyond the project’s end, honoring the relationship that made the work possible.

2. Transparency and Shared Power

We believe transparency is an act of trust. We share openly about pricing, process, and decision-making so that power is distributed, not centralized.

In practice:

• We provide clear breakdowns of costs and time.  

• We invite feedback and co-design from clients and collaborators.  

• We name our limitations and learning edges with honesty.

3. Accessibility and Equity in Pricing

We recognize that access to support should not depend on budget size. Our pricing model is flexible and relational, grounded in equity rather than uniformity.

In practice:

• We use a  sliding scale  informed by individual or organizational budget, size, and access to resources.  

• We offer community-rate engagements for grassroots and BIPOC-led initiatives.  

• We reinvest a portion of our income into mutual aid, learning funds, and community care.

4. Accountability as Relationship

Accountability, for us, is not about blame, it’s about staying in relationship when things get hard.  We view mistakes and feedback as opportunities for repair and deeper alignment.

In practice: 

• We invite feedback throughout each engagement, not only at the end.  

• We hold reflective debriefs to name what worked, what didn’t, and what we’re learning.  

• We commit to repair when harm occurs, guided by transparency and care.

5. Rest, Reflection, and Sustainability

We resist the culture of urgency that dominates much of the consulting world. Slowness, rest, and reflection are not luxuries—they are essential to integrity and depth.

In practice: 

• We build spacious timelines and realistic expectations.  

• We integrate pauses for reflection within every process.  

• We model boundaries and rest as part of our collective liberation practice.

Our Commitments to Ongoing Learning

We are always learning, unlearning, and re-learning. Our practice is shaped by the teachings of decolonial thinkers, movement organizers, and ancestral wisdom traditions. We commit to staying accountable to the communities and lineages that inform our work.
