This program is primarily aimed at leaders working in and around anti-oppressive strategy and social justice mobilization. “Leaders” is a broad acknowledgement of the different ways folks show up in this work - from workshop facilitators to DEI managers to small consulting business owners.

If you’re an anti-racism or DEI practitioner feeling isolated within a large organization or someone who provides third-party consulting services, you may have experienced isolation and burnout in your work.

This is a space to grow alongside one another, share best practices and provide tangible support in the face of resistance and de-prioritization of our work.

If you are a…

• Manager of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion working to make change within a big tech company

• Founder or CEO of a small consulting business

• Independent facilitator of anti-racism workshops

• Civil servant

• Chair of an LGBTQ2S+ employee resource group at a big corporation

• Co-organizer of a grassroots organization advocating for accessibility in public spaces

• Content creator/social media influencer known for sharing knowledge of social justice topics

• or something else!

… then this is a great program for you!

All educational sessions (workshops and keynotes) will be available for 6 months after completion of the program. Discussion and co-working spaces will not be recorded.

There may be unique circumstances where a guest speaker does not wish to be recorded or there are technical difficulties.

Living Room is a side project of Bakau Consulting, hosted and facilitated by Bakau’s CEO, Cicely Belle Blain.

Payments will go through Bakau Consulting Inc.

Yes! Folks needing financial support can apply for a scholarship here. Applications close July 1st.

We currently have two full scholarships and three 50% scholarships.

Scholarship availability may increase if more funds are made available through generous ticket options and sponsorships.

We are also open to discussing barter and trade options that feel mutually beneficial.

Additionally, we have a payment plan option that allows you to pay the total over 3 installments. Please contact finance@bakaconsulting.com for this option.

Our tiered ticketing system takes into account the different financial access available to the diversity of folks in this work.

Our generous rate is recommended for those who have a slightly larger budget for their own professional development and self-growth and/or have access to social and financial privilege. The extra funds from these tickets allow us to offer more scholarship spots.

Our standard rate is the regular option that takes into account the value of the knowledge, time and labour put into this program.

For those who just want to tune in for our webinars and access the online course (written and pre-recorded content), the flex learning option is best.

Refunds are available up until December 15th 2023.

There are 40 spots available. There are two options of discussion groups to allow for smaller groups of 20 people.

It’s totally up to you. This is not a certification program so there is no requirement to attend all the sessions, however, the more you attend, the more you will get out of the program!
