About us
Our work is always intersectional, understanding that the various systems of oppression - racism, classism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism, ableism, ageism and so on - are deeply intertwined. The most effective work on such issues addresses them all, even as it must sometimes focus on a particular piece of the puzzle. Systems of oppression operate on many levels, which are not separable: individually, interpersonally, culturally, institutionally, and societally. When we wish to address a particular manifestation of oppression – for example, race- and gender-based microaggressions in a workplace – it is often helpful to also consider related manifestations at more micro- levels (such as individuals’ internalized beliefs, values and needs) and more macro- levels (such as in organizational culture or state/national policy trends). Our training services draw on a variety of pedagogical approaches and learning modalities including Freirean popular education, intergroup dialogue, creative expression, and straightforward workplace skills training, all involving the interplay between theory and practice (praxis). Training participants should expect a lively combination of presentations, small- and large-group discussions, structured activities, and practical exercises, drawing on the wisdom and experience of the group as well as providing new information and tools. Our consulting services incorporate an understanding of established best practices in HR, management and supervision, as well as DEIJ-specific tools like the Multicultural Organizational Development framework. We pay particular attention to the ways in which each organization is simultaneously an institution and a community – a structure of policies and roles, and a network of human relationships; Institutional solutions and human solutions must align to create deep and lasting change.

Using the right pronouns isn’t just about politeness— it’s a way to show respect and honor each other’s boundaries. In a recent interview with Mibengè Nsenduluka of The Back Cover, Think Again founder Davey Shlasko explains why misusing pronouns is more than a harmless mistake. It impacts mental health, trust, and workplace effectiveness. In this powerful discussion, Davey explains how respecting pronouns is essential for creating safer, more inclusive workplaces. Listen to the full interview for more practical insights and to hear about Davey’s path to this work.
