Grounding Values
Leading with Our Power
What grounds us first and foremost is that we are intentionally
guided by the voices of Black Women.
Inclusion Matters
We believe inclusivity creates transformative spaces, safe spaces where individuals can thrive.
Human-Centered Approach
We put people at the forefront of our work. We began our work with this in mind. Every one of our designs is intentionally centered around experiences that people are experiencing daily, specifically marginalized people. We will not give you seminar-style presentations or worksheets. We aim to create engaging and interactive models to ensure we are alongside you and your team for the journey.
Intersectionality Matters
As coined by Kimberle Crenshaw, "Intersectionality is a lens through which you can see where power comes and collides, where it interlocks and intersects. It's not simply that there's a race problem here, a gender problem here, and a class or LBGTQ problem there." We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion work must be intentionally intersectional to capture the lens of all people and their experiences.
Authenticity
We will show up as our whole selves and work alongside clients to model the authenticity and transparency necessary for everyone to feel comfortable doing the same.
Disrupting and Dismantling Racism Starts with Anti-Blackness
The root of most oppression and racism globally begins with anti-blackness.
We begin our work here.

Kevin Waters- Managing Director, Impact & Innovation at Teach For America
“Working with the Pivotal Paradigm Project was terrific for me! They are innovative, strategic, and willing to customize your experience to meet the needs you lay out for your work and leadership journey. At any given moment, I felt less like I was talking with a consultant and more like I was collaborating with a teammate toward a shared outcome. I highly recommend reaching out for personal development and propelling your workplace.”
