The Inclusion → Understanding → Implementation FrameworkBefore creating any materials, we assess where your organization currently stands with LGBTQ+ inclusion and identify the biggest opportunities for authentic connection.

Here's how we do it:

  • Inclusion Audit: We review your current materials through an LGBTQ+ lens, identifying language that creates barriers, builds trust, or falls somewhere in between.

  • Understanding: I work with your team to understand your genuine commitment level and the specific LGBTQ+ audiences you want to serve authentically.

  • Implementation: We develop messaging strategies and copy that reflect real understanding—not just good intentions—tailored to your industry and audience needs.
