ABOUT

Traditionally, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) have been largely excluded from the environmental movement yet they often suffer disproportionate impacts of climate change as well as barriers to environmental justice. ENGOs are now realizing that they need to better represent the communities they serve and learn more about the social and economic barriers that underserved communities face, and how they can work to dismantle these barriers within their own organizations, as well as examining their own biases and beliefs.


BIPOC Inclusion Lab: Fostering Transformational Change

BIPOC Inclusion Lab is designed for organizations who are ready to explore strategies specific to policies, processes, and culture, and discuss how to use BIPOC inclusion principles to bring a transformative lens to their organizations. All participants automatically become part of our burgeoning JEDI Alumni Network, designed to keep up the learning momentum and deepen peer networks.Anna-Liza Badaloo will facilitate 25-person cohorts for peer networking, learning and sharing via six, 2-hour sessions weekly this Winter.

Topics will include:
- Psychological Safety & Intersectionality
- White Privilege, Guilt, & Fragility
- Mapping & Sharing Power
- Allyship, Mentorship, & Sponsorship
- Fostering Cultures of Care
- From Learning to Organizational Transformation

Although ‘JEDI’ in the ENGO sector often solely refers to BIPOC inclusion, we recognize that fully exploring organizational inclusion must also include other equity-deserving communities such as people with disabilities, women and gender-expansive people, and people from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We will continue to offer BIPOC inclusion-focussed cohorts in 2025 and 2026, but add cohorts related to other equity-deserving groups.
Anna-Liza Badaloo (she/her) of Anemochory Consulting is a facilitator, un-learner, and inclusive communicator. Viewing JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) through the lens of empathy, her decolonized, intersectional approach helps organizations build capacity by implementing communities of practice, trainings, and empathy-driven frameworks designed to foster organizational justice. By centering equity-deserving communities, she helps organizations understand how colonial structures impact organizational health.
