RESULTS

Inclusive organizations don't happen accidentally. Here are a few project samples from public, private, and social sector CLIENTS. 
​See cross-cultural projects to engage New American communities at OUTREACH. 

Strategic Communications

Challenge- Agape House needed more funding for their programs- which supports young Black and brown women transitioning out of foster care, and who are at risk of homelessness or being trafficked.  

​Solutions- My communications audit found overlooked  strengths and PARTNERSHIP opportunities.

Results- The board leveraged my report to attract a larger agency to build capacity and support.

Training

Challenge- The region's philanthropic community is raising the bar on equity, diversity and inclusion outcomes for grant recipients. Puget Sound Grantwriter's Association, (PSGA), members need the expertise to meet this expectation.   

Solution- I designed and co-presented a training with Chanya Allen, entitled: “Writing About Equity with Confidence & Credibility”, to help PSGA members understand E/D/I ethics, best-practices, and their impact. It included a facilitating a panel discussion with funding officers from private and public foundations. 

Results- ​The event sold out and a follow-on was requested. See testimonial from participant, below.

Facilitation

Challenge- "Teach us to swim, our children are drowning". This was the first request at a meeting of American Muslim women at the North Seattle Family Center, where there was a drop in the food assistance (WIC) program for low-income children after the events of 9/11. In fact, several Muslim youth had perished off the shores of Seattle city parks in recent years. 
​

​Solutions- I facilitated meetings with community leaders and staff to find a facility that would meet the women's modesty standards and create a fun and affordable physical activity for women and children. 

Results- ​These popular events re-engaged the community, helped families learn to swim, and created new partnerships between the city and it's citizens. Still operating today, the volunteer-run Sister's Swim quickly attracted funding, was featured in the Seattle Times and NPR Radio, and won praise from the mayor. Replicated in other cities, the program now welcomes all females, while meeting the needs of those who practice gender-separation.

Outreach

Challenge- A marketing and communications agency wanted a neutral third party to determine which two local ethnic groups had the greatest translation needs for a public transit safety campaign. 

​
Solutions- I analyzed demographics of four English Language Learner populations, including: generational differences in English proficiency rates, train usage patterns, and public access to municipal resources. Next, I interviewed city planners, business owners, and community leaders, then made recommendations. 

Results- ​Campaign materials were translated into Spanish and Korean. No fatalities have occurred in the high use, densely populated urban communities where the light rail was constructed.
