Values

We support and seek to promote equality for all and the empowerment of the marginalized, non-dominant, and underrepresented.

We recognize that, as women in a strongly male-dominated profession, we stand every day on the shoulders of others who have sacrificed more than we ever will have to.

We recognize that our white team members benefit from privileges our BIPOC team members, clients, colleagues, friends, and neighbors have not had, and we do our best to accept the responsibilities that brings.

Although no one can be perfect, to the greatest extent possible, we respect the uniqueness of everyone, value inclusivity, and respect differences of all sorts, but only to the extent that they do no harm and do not promote harm to others.
