Education is one of the most liberating and revolutionary resources we have and should have in this human experience. As the incomparable Maya Angelou said, “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” Our society is facing a severe crisis of fashionable miseducation and a campaign of anti-intellectualism, which has bred a normalized culture of unapologetic anti-humanism, evident in the ongoing global issues of xenophobia, widespread racism, sociocultural misogyny and government sanctioned anti-LGBTQIA legislation.

J.R. Baker-Flowers has designed culturally and linguistically appropriate training sessions for corporate, community-based, universities, K-12 schools, government and private business clientele rooted in fundamental DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) practices, which are accessible for participants across socioeconomic, racial, gender, accessibility and age spectrums.

• Client intake consultation - An interactive strategy session to develop a practical and customized action plan to dismantle organizational-specific disparities and generate an inclusive and equitable culture

• Pre-assessment and post-assessment of each participant’s knowledge of DEI topic

• Visually engaging multimedia presentations
