More about Seeing White: Foundations for White Women
Conscious Revolution’s Seeing White: Foundations for White Women, a 9-week community cohort designed for individuals identifying as White women. Participants will develop a structural analysis of race, while conditioning the mind and body to further commit to racial equity. We’ll examine White women’s alignment with power structures that perpetuate patriarchy and racism, from slavery to the meme Karen. Foundations offers a unique exploration into the role and opportunity for White women to contribute to building anti-racist organizations and solidarity movements.
Conscious Revolution is offering White Women Foundations as a complement to White Men for Racial Justice’s Seeing White: WMRJ Foundations 101 cohort offering. WMRJ and Conscious Revolution have been partnering together to bring this program to individuals identifying as White women.

Witty things make me laugh. Kindred spirits fill me up. I love the sky, trees and water. Ask me to travel, sing, dance, hike, or see live music and I’m immediately in. Skiing and camping are a blast once you’ve started but the prep almost makes me not want to go. Someday I’ll be deeply settled in my body and soul and helping others to do the same.
And yeah, I have all those credentials one typically needs to be declared legit. Twenty-five plus wisdom-building years grinding it out as a global HR leader; Undergrad in Human Resources, Masters in Organizational Development & Leadership, Certifications galore. In 2019, I became one of the world’s first Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultants*.
Our work together will fill everyone, including us, with joy and inspiration. Yes, we can do that! Yes, that’s what we are doing! Join us!
thrive. After having the opportunity to work with leaders in schools and school systems across the country for more than a decade, I got to work in my community where my own children attend school in what we now call Portland, Maine. Portland Public Schools is the largest and most diverse school district in the state of Maine. I first partnered with the district to write the strategic plan and then went on to serve as the Assistant Superintendent of Teaching & Learning and as interim Co-Superintendent. In all of my roles I have gravitated towards organizational culture and people development work and have found that I feel authentic building and leading teams towards meaningful goals. I believe that positional leadership calls for deep listening, humility, love and a commitment to growing self-awareness as a constant practice. I am ever aspiring to live in alignment with these commitments. As it’s useful to know, I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Africana Studies from Bowdoin College and a Masters of Education in School Leadership from Harvard Graduate School of Education, (which I received on a social entrepreneurship fellowship through the Center for Public Leadership at the Harvard Kennedy School). I also have various certifications, primarily in the field of education.
My work is an expression of my personal values and I also feel grateful to have a full life outside of my work. I am the mom to two boys and a dog (and I have a (very funny) husband too). I practice meditation and/or yoga daily (and am a trained trauma-informed yoga teacher and used to teach in the youth detention center as a part of a yoga service nonprofit I co-founded). I’m usually reading a minimum of three books (one spiritual, one professional, one mystery). And as a true extrovert (getting more introverted with age though) I love to be with good friends, preferably over a tasty meal or near the water.
My role at Conscious Revolution is to expand our ability to support leaders and organizations in the education sector, in addition to collaborating with the team to support clients across all contexts. I have great respect for all leaders charged with transformational change in their institutions, and I have an especially deep empathy for educational leaders in these unprecedented times. I believe that courageous leaders ask for help and I am so honored to be able to partner with our clients to offer our support.
