Jebeh Cultural Consulting is a consulting firm that educates the public through multicultural resources to promote positive change. My mission is to create engaging resources that cover multicultural education and experiences. My target client base includes educators, district administrators, universities, corporations, for-profit and non-profit organizations.

Our society lacks the basic understanding of awareness and willingness to engage in authentic conversations regarding interpersonal communication with people of color. With our current climate of race relations, the thirst for more knowledge is paramount.  Clients are looking to make meaningful connections with people of color. We need to utilize people with the expertise to accomplish those goals of authentic conversations with our colleagues, peers, and community members in a positive and life-changing way.

I will provide a unique and supportive, enriching environment that offers thought-provoking perspectives and situations that will garner tools to utilize right away to start the reflective process within yourself and your workplace.

1. Immigration
2. Diverse Families & Our Impact as Educators
3. Recruitment and Retention Practices in the Workplace
4. How to Attract More Multicultural Clients and Consumers

Approach to DEI

Every individual deserves to have a DEI experience that meets them where they are at in their development and understanding. It is beneficial to the individual and the organization. We understand this approach is effective when it comes to parenting different children, teaching, or training in a new employee. The more we know about that individual’s understanding or skill level, the better we can tailor an approach to meet them where they are at and get them where they need to be. DEI initiatives and strategies are no different.

My approach to DEI is rooted in building community, strengthening relationships, and empowering individuals. Initially, I assist and advise organizations to determine their own capacity and ability to engage in DEI efforts. I support organizations in a holistic and genuine approach to DEI that meets their specific needs, expectations, and resources. This can be described as walking alongside organizations to support their DEI efforts and addressing their personal and professional needs. Ultimately, I strive to support and empower individuals and teams to lead and sustain their efforts to meet their DEI goals.
