Scared you’re going to say the wrong thing? This 4-hour Inclusivity Intensive Workshop will give you all the dos and don’ts of Allyship to get you started.
PLUS find more success by including diversity, equity, and inclusion into your business strategy with other likeminded business owners in a safe space.
Worried you’ll say the wrong thing, end up offending someone, and be drug through the coals online?
We’ve all seen it happen this year.
A well-meaning, White-presenting woman shuts down a discussion, saying “We don’t talk politics here” and ends up insulting and alienating entire populations of people and leaving her image and business in shambles.
All because she didn’t know what the right thing to say and didn’t bother trying to find out.
“I was just trying to keep the peace; I love everyone, and I don’t see color. Why are you attacking me??” These women don’t think of themselves as racists or judgmental, harsh people. And that’s part of the problem.
You don’t know what you don’t know, until it’s too late - fear of saying the wrong thing is keeping us from learning how to say the right thing."
We’re at a point in history where you can’t afford to ignore diversity, equity, and inclusion.
And it’s also not enough to just know “the right things to say” if you want to see real change.
Creating a space where people can reAlly BELONG, instead of merely exist without being offended is what allies are reAlly trying to do.
And I want to show you HOW to get started on becoming a ACTIVE Ally now.
It’s not enough anymore to just follow a list of words not to say. We’re shifting focus to improving our corner of the world and fostering a diverse community, putting empathy back into social justice and doing our part as online entrepreneurs to make a difference.
It’s time to finAlly feel confident, informed, and have actionable steps.
“Guiding small businesses on their journey to
remain exclusive while being inclusive.”
I made changes in my own business, helping me overcome the fear that I had of just being me and showing up as my authentic self. After years of clinical and corporate work with clients, I realized there were so many people JUST LIKE ME - scared of saying and doing the wrong things, but ready to make a change and learn how they can BELONG.
That is when I decided to shift all my energy into helping people grow successful businesses that create a safe space where everyone has room to BELONG.
As an advocate for women, an Army veteran, and a mentor for 20+ years, I have dedicated my life to helping others. I’m here to guide your small business away from creating a false sense of belonging and having hard public stumbles. Instead, let’s create a culture encouraging your customers to “come as they are” and build something beautiful with their unique gifts.
You know there’s a lot of work to do related to diversity and equality in your business and are eager to be a part of the solution— stop feeling like you're out of the loop and finAlly learn how to do something about it!

Learn what it means to be an Ally and the best ways to integrate true anti-racist and meaningful social justice practices in your business
I’m Lekeshia Angelique. Army Veteran, Mom, Coach, Taco Aficionado, and creator of safe spaces to educate folx. The key to change is knowledge and empathy. It is important to me to create a culture of knowledge, as the more knowledgeable we are of one another’s experiences, the more likely it is that we will take the steps to effect change.
While working for over 20 years for the U.S Army and the Federal Government, I have taken many different paths that have led me to where I am today.
Most often, I have been the only Black woman in powerful meetings. I’ve had to learn not only to have a seat at the table but a voice while there.
Time and again, I saw the need to empower more women in leadership roles and the massive need to fill the gaps in businesses around diversity, equity, and inclusion education.
My unique educational background has also led me (unknowingly) to be in the position I am in today, owning my own business doing exactly what I love. I completed a year under the mentorship of the Diversity and Inclusion Executive at Colgate, where I gained valuable lessons and practical, hands-on experience in a large corporate setting.
This path has given me the confidence to move away from corporate life where, after a time, I found myself miserable. It has taught me about failure, empathy, mentoring, and the ability to meet people where they’re at without judgement.
My mission is to empower not just Black women but every human to have a powerful voice and an equitable seat at any table they desire to be seated at.

You don’t know what you don’t know, and by the time it happens it’s too late.
We’ve all seen that things can go from successful to disastrous with diversity missteps.
Avoid going it alone and letting fear keep your from Being an Active Ally.
You have questions, we have answers.
Is this actuAlly going to do anything to make a real impact? I’m just one person and there are tons of people out there who are going to keep being hateful.
Yes. Your voice matters! All movements and changes to the system start as an idea between individual people, and they all feel like this at some point. But they overcome their doubts and fears and take action. You can be that person.
Is this for me? Because I’m not an activist, but I also don’t like what I’m seeing and want to do something about it.
Yes. You ARE an activist, simply wanting to do more than being silent means that this program is exactly for you. Activism doesn’t mean we’re out there burning bras and chaining ourselves to heavy machinery, it looks different for everyone. Yes, these people are activists, but it doesn’t have to be scary and extreme like it’s made out to be. It can be the person who has inclusive language on their website, someone who listens to underrepresented people’s experiences, or someone who is willing to learn and stand up for what they believe. Your activism is up to you.
What types of industries is this program for? I’ve not seen much happening in mine.
Every industry! There is no place, job or person who wouldn’t benefit from being more inclusive. Creatives, coaches, accountants, services providers, literally anyone that works with others and wants to learn how to make a change.
I see stories about people losing clients over equality issues, am I going to lose clients because of this?
Hopefully! If you lose clients that don’t share in your values or who don’t believe that inclusion belongs in business, they aren’t your people. You will gain way more than you lose by being in this program. People want to hire others with their values and by sharing yours you’ll find many more clients who are aligned to what you stand for.
I hate to admit this, but my family is racist. How do I do this work and be vocal without causing problems?
Boundaries are important and we will work on setting those boundaries with loved ones who may still be uneducated about race relations. This work isn’t easy but nothing worth having ever is and you will be among a whole community of people who share the same values.
I want to help you infuse inclusive messaging and processes into
current business practices so you can find success and make a REAL
impact in your business community.
If you remember anything, remember that hindsight is 20/20.
How do you want to look back at this moment?
Do you want to remember:
“Yes, this was the moment I made a change and became an Ally and social justice leader!”
OR
"Do you want to look back with disappointment, wishing you would have taken a stand, learned what it meant to live your values, and build social justice into your business?"
Become a part of the inclusivity movement , start making real
change , and gain a competitive edge in your business!
