OUR COMMITMENT
Our commitment to the work of diversity in the Corridor is deeply rooted in the desire to build the capacity for businesses, schools, and community organizations to thrive and grow in equitable, inclusive, and racially diverse environments. Our work supports embracing diversity, so ALL can thrive in the wonderful work and learning opportunities Iowa has to offer.

OUR METHODS
Our Methods Our customized professional development programs make it more conducive for a safer and more collaborative learning space. Working closely with consultants Kimberly Fitten and Laura Gray means your team will receive training directly applicable to your organization’s needs. Having many years of experience with predominantly white organizations and staff, we empathize with the discomfort our learners’ experience as they discuss issues of race. Our delivery methods are designed to push our learners; however, we create a container by wrapping around them with restorative practices. This makes for a safer space to process, reflect, and grow.
“My mission is to equip people to do the work themselves in their daily lives without guilt, shame, or blame. Guilt, shame, and blame produce compliance and compliance does not cultivate change or sustainability. “
