OUR WORK
We offer training and facilitation for groups seeking to grow as leaders committed to advancing justice.
We help leaders build...
Shared language and analysis about identity and power. We reflect on and share our identities and experiences in order to recognize how they impact how we show up…in relationships, at work, and on the streets. We also determine what it means to hold, build, and share power in the world and in our organizations.
Trusting relationships where everyone can honestly share ideas and concerns. This fosters a healthy feedback culture and willingness to work through and learn from conflict together.
Effective processes for communicating, making decisions, and getting things done.
VALUES & Approach
We believe...
Communities who are earnestly trying to work for equity and justice already have all the answers they need within and around them. We simply help them derive strategies and solutions by:
Providing frameworks for shared language and understanding of history
Building relationships rooted in trust
Creating space for participant knowledge sharing (popular education)
Supporting the development of collective commitments for change
VALUES & Approach
We bring people together with intention.
All of our training and retreats feature four elements:
Grounding
Dedicating our work; agreeing to be present, curious, generous, and brave
Shared Experience
Learning from a shared journey, which can include a course, a text, or a work of art
Reflection
Making meaning of experiences for ourselves
Relationship-Building
Creating space for deep listening, the exchange of ideas, and lightness
ABOUT MIA
Meet the founder & CEO
Hi, I’m Mia Henry!
I am an educator, facilitator, and strategist working to help leaders and groups live into their social justice values.
I was born and raised in the U.S. Deep South. My people were entrepreneurs, Black church leaders, NAACP + SCLC members, mass meeting attendees, HBCU graduates, sharecroppers, and, five generations ago, enslaved people.
I grew up learning about the history of the Black Freedom Struggle in the U.S. at the dinner table from my parents and family in Alabama who shared their personal stories and from the books they told me to read.
I am a legacy and I live on purpose.
