Have you noticed how most speaker bureaus follow the same corporate, profit-driven approach—prioritizing high-profile names over real impact and meaningful representation? We have, and research reflects what we’ve seen and experienced: over 75% of organizations report difficulty finding diverse speakers with both lived experience and professional expertise (Diversity & Inclusion Industry Survey, 2023). Many rely on influencers rather than experts, and traditional bureaus often neglect professional development and collaboration, limiting growth and opportunities for underrepresented voices.

We fill this gap by offering a speakers bureau that is led by and exclusively represents the voices too often sidelined. Our tailored pricing structures make it possible for non-profits and activist organizations to afford expert voices, ensuring that smaller budgets don’t mean missing out on transformative engagements. Beyond bookings, we provide our Speakers with mentorship, communities of practice, and growth opportunities, creating a space for collaboration and collective success.

"After providing speaking, training, and research services in Canada for a few years, I noticed a gap: clients seeking to hire diverse speakers, trainers, researchers, and artists had limited spaces and resources to do so. This is a growing concern, especially with the rising demand for diversity and the pushback against systemic racism across sectors.

​

Instead of competing against other diverse service providers, who also face disproportionate barriers and strive toward the same goals of climate justice and equity, I recognized the opportunity to shift our approach and business model away from the traditional understanding of competition. While our small team delivers services directly, we also uplift and promote others who could be seen as competitors. By amplifying their voices and services, we contribute to shared efforts in creating equitable, sustainable spaces in what is currently Canada and beyond.

​

This is social innovation in the interest of the well-being of our future generations and Mother Earth."
