Why Hire a White Consultant to Talk About Race?

For many predominantly white institutions and organizations, whiteness passes as normal. Therefore, it is impossible to do real diversity work without addressing this. In many instances, organizations rely on people of color (Black, Asian, Latinx, Indigenous, Multiracial) to carry the burden of addressing racism. The truth? White people have to take responsibility for racism.

And, that makes many white people uncomfortable.

As a white woman who has committed her life and practice to talking about the real implications of whiteness, Jenna actively utilizes her own understanding and experiences as a white woman for making change. But she certainly does not do this in a vacuum: she partners explicitly with people of color in cross-racial dialogue and facilitation, and together they demonstrate what it means to lead with multiple perspectives. 

Depending on the specific need, Jenna facilitates alone or in partnership with colleagues of color.
