Our Story

We are the BE Consultancy, a team of Black women dedicated to dismantling anti-Black racism and building equitable communities.

VALUES & CULTURE

Our Approach

The BE Consultancy was born out of a shared passion for racial justice and a deep commitment to empowering Black and Brown communities.

The BE Consultancy is a consulting firm that tackles anti-Black racism as it impacts all people. We build knowledge from the lived experiences of people of color (POC) existing within white dominant culture. Through workshops and consultations we cater services to make meaningful strategic change that builds community across our differences. We facilitate community healing through equity, learning, advocacy, and action

Love and protect by validating identity and facilitating relationship building. 
 
Dismantle and rebuild by valuing individual storytelling and creating informed ways to move forward.
 
  • Be Reflective: We encourage clients to reflect on their experiences in both the workplace and in their personal lives, specifically with regard to how anti-black racism has affected the way they exist. We reflect with cultural humility to make room for community care.
  • Be Resistant: We ask clients to resist traditional limits, push boundaries, and ‘unlearn’ concepts that reinforce inequity in order to make meaningful change that creates new systems and centers voices of those who have been systemically de-centered 
  • Be Radical: We help clients to be radically honest about their experiences and to radically communicate and form relationships with deliberate cultural awareness and care.
  • Be Reset: We assist clients to reset by reflecting, experiencing and creating room for joy, and developing supportive networks.
  • Be Restored: We create space for trust-building and assurance of belonging by encouraging 1. the acknowledgement of clients’ whole selves, 2. the need for healing from traumas, 3 processing of difficult situations, and 4. the necessity of community connection.

Our Goals

Since our launch in 2021, the BE Consultancy has proudly partnered with numerous organizations and individuals across the United States, advocating for community care and centering anti-racism within their structures. 

Many non-profits and youth-serving organizations strive to support diverse communities, yet lack the resources to do so effectively. We bridge this gap with DEI consulting services and anti-racism training workshops. Through virtual and in person consulting, we equip non-profits and youth-serving organizations with the knowledge and tools needed to build inclusive workplaces and better serve BIPOC communities while improving company culture.

We understand the unique challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) professionals especially women. Our coaching programs (The BE Well Coaching) offer a supportive space for BIPOC individuals to:

  • Clarify goals
  • Build self-confidence
  • Navigate careers authentically

The BE Consultancy offers a safe haven for BIPOC individuals to connect and build community outside of work. Through wellness retreats and workshops, we celebrate the unique experiences and strengths of BIPOC women, fostering lasting connections and personal growth.

Why Us?

Our credentials speak volumes, but our real magic is interpersonal - we listen, we understand, we advocate, and we lead with love.

  • We center the voice of people of color first.
  • We ensure wellness and healing above all.
  • We guide, not teach. We inform by listening.
  • We value narrative expression to build community.
