they/them
I spent two decades working at the intersection of leadership, equity, and organizational change — across the public, private, and social sectors. Building inclusive teams, coaching emerging leaders. Meaningful work. But I kept coming back to the same question: who's building this support for the people doing the hardest work — diverse women and queer leaders, often alone?
When I left a senior consulting role to start my own practice, I kept looking for a workspace that felt right. Nothing did. And then I thought: why not me? Why not us? So we built it.
Our Space is the result — a community-first workspace rooted in authenticity, equity, and belonging.

she/they
I've been part of the South Berkeley / North Oakland community for over 20 years and care deeply about this little slice of the world.
For the past decade I've run LittleFeminist.com, a social enterprise that both publishes and promotes diverse children's books. I also work as a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer — helping mission-driven businesses reach their people.
A few years ago, when I became a parent, my world got smaller in a way I didn't expect. I found myself craving a place to go that wasn't home, wasn't work — but still felt like both.
Our Space is that place. Built for focus, connection, and the simple human need to be in community.
