Founding Consciously Exposed was just one step I have taken to elevate the rights of marginalized people and communities in the United States. My workshops, seminars, lectures, and community-building events have been a successful way of improving human rights. As such, I have helped create more empathetic, equitable, and prosperous communities by enabling companies to elevate the cultural intelligence of diverse consumers.
