What People Are Saying about Ben and Jamesa...
"Ben and Jamesa have risen to the top as the go-to conversation curators about oppressive systems (in the workplace and beyond!). They are the epitome of choosing courage over comfort by intentionally and openly discussing uncomfortable issues. They normalize the necessity for self-reflection by utilizing the curiosity and compassion to see one another, hear one another, and ultimately nurture our souls to thirst for growth and positive change. One of their legacies to the world will be as fearless agitators to dismantle systemic discrimination and racism. Ben and Jamesa help us to maintain hope that change is possible and can be achieved if we commit ourselves to create a world led by diversity, equity, and inclusion of humanity."
Soraya Chemaly
Award-winning social critic, activist, and the author of
The Resilience Myth and Rage Becomes Her.
“Transforming workplaces to be more just and humane is incredibly complex—especially when addressing deep inequalities and differences among colleagues. Jamesa and Ben have created a rare space to explore these conversations with compassion, curiosity, and integrity. In my own professional life, I’ve tried to engage these issues and know how challenging it can be. I’m deeply grateful for the patience, skill, and ethical commitment they bring to this work, making it possible for others to lead change in their own organizations..”
Jennifer Graham,
CEO
“Ben and Jamesa have fundamentally transformed our approach to leadership through their tailored training modules and leadership coaching. Their expertise is a game-changer for organizations striving for excellence in service delivery with humanity.”
Joan Harris,
COO
“Partnering with Ben and Jamesa has profoundly impacted our organization. Their emphasis on self-awareness and emotional intelligence in our supervisory team has greatly enhanced our capacity to support survivors of violence, stakeholders, and one another."
Ken Lennington, MD,
Psychiatrist
"My time with Ben and Jamesa has helped me understand the blind spots I have as a white male. I wish I had met them at the start of my career so I could always have been more aware of how my thoughts and actions impact the lives of my coworkers in ways I had never imagined."
Jada Charley,
CEO
“I had moved into a new position as CEO with a challenging leadership environment. Ben helped me develop a clear picture of the obstacles I faced and the tools to overcome them. He is one of the most trustworthy people I have ever met."
Willie Sellers,
Human Resources
"Jamesa brings a rare combination of deep grounding, compassion, and humility. Her ability to carry all she’s accomplished without centering herself opens doors into even the most exclusive and predominantly white spaces—where she quietly, powerfully, reshapes the culture from within."
Margarette Parrish,
State Regional Director
"I spent my entire career in a male dominated field - law enforcement. As I rose into leadership roles, Ben helped me process my experiences, see what I could change, and develop coping skills for what I could not. With Ben's support, I was able to build a career that I am very proud of. "
