Diversity and inclusion for every generation.

Get to know us.

We are a minority- and women-owned diversity consulting company. We aren't here to check a box. We won’t sell you buzzy words or cookie cutter initiatives. We will help you achieve demonstrated, measurable, reportable success that keeps your marginalized employees at the center of the work.

Our goal as your diversity consultant is to harness that talent and get everyone in your organization invested in diversity work.

How we help.

From Fortune 500 companies to tech startups to law firms to Hollywood studios to hospitals to universities to non-profits, we are a company that puts your people first. Keeping them active.

We have facilitated antiracist task force meetings. We have delivered leadership coaching to C-suite executives. We have written actionable, goal-based reports from company-wide listening sessions. Because we know the key to success isn’t us. It’s you.

A world that demands change needs more than a consulting company. That’s why Inclusion Nation is more than a diversity consulting company. We are a diversity solutions company.
