Leadership for Belonging

Now, more than ever before, creating belonging is imperative for healthy and resilient people, organizations, and communities. Blue Agave Partners works with you to identify the conditions necessary for courageous and authentic relationships that cultivate connections based on acceptance of self and others that enable aligned action.  We are deeply motivated by the power of belonging as an essential factor for any meaningful social change.

"Belonging is about recognizing our deep and profound connection with each other, with the earth, and with all living creatures. [When you belong] you have the power to co-create the thing to which you belong."

As part of the legacy to which I belong, I am beholden to speak out against a binary frame that pits people against each other. It is my duty to work with others to be aware of he arrangements and ideas that can transform philanthropic culture and practices that harm communities of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian-American, and non-racialized communities that are marginalized or disinvested (e.g., women, LGBTQ, disabled). Central to my approach is to harness discomfort as a catalyst for meaningful transformation on a personal and organizational level.  It is my values and my vocation to create spaces for people to transform and transition how they show up in the world that steadies me in turbulent times.
