ABOUT

Traditionally, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC), people with disabilities,
neurodiverse people, and members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community have been largely excluded from the environmental movement. Yet, people from equity-deserving communities 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, learn more
about the social and economic barriers that underserved communities face, and explore how
they can work to dismantle these barriers within their own organizations. Making our workplaces
more welcoming and affirming for all people requires a brave examination of our privileges,
biases, and beliefs at both the personal and organizational level.


Disability Inclusion Lab: Building Disability Confidence

The Disability Inclusion Lab is designed for organizations that want to learn how to use disability inclusion principles to improve their organization’s disability confidence: becoming comfortable and competent in managing a workforce that includes workers with disabilities and recognizing the significant talents that people with disabilities bring to the workplace. We will also introduce the concept of neurodiversity inclusion. Expect to actively examine your own assumptions, explore strategies specific to policies, processes, and culture, and share experiences and resources with your peers. 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 Spring.

Topics will include:
- Psychological Safety & Ableist Culture
- An Introduction to Neurodiversity
- Exploring Common Workplace Barriers
- Inclusion Across the Employment Lifecycle
- Using Your Voice as an Ally, Mentor, & Sponsor
- From Learning to Disability Confidence

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.
