Support to develop your expertise around PMEL with creative examples and practical tips for adding these to your existing processes. I use participatory, decolonial, intersectional, and inclusive approaches.
You can download and start using everything today. These are practical tools for everyone. When I began my career, I couldn’t find the resources I was looking for at a reasonable price, written well, or informed by the real world and all its complexities. I want to correct that.

Feel free to use my work, but please be responsible and credit me. When I’ve shared others’ work, I’ve attributed them. For example, I use The Barefoot Guide’s incredible collection of artists for each post’s title images. Everything else you see here is my intellectual property and is copyrighted.
