At Kenisha Coon Consulting, my mission is to help others in their journey to Antiracism. I strive to create a courageous, inclusive, and welcoming space for all folx to feel they can be their authentic selves while bringing the vulnerability that comes with capacity building. I continue to be committed to working hard to build my capacity, while I know that both implicit and explicit bias exists, and recognize to make sure that it does not impact the work that I do. I am intentional about the work that I do to make sure policy, practices, and my direct work with folx are centered on inclusiveness. I am committed to this work, being my authentic self, and continuing to build my capacity while fostering an inclusive space for all folx. I cannot wait to be on your journey with you.
