A Safe Space for Real-Time Support and Empowerment for Members of the Global Majority, EDI Executives and Champions
Call A Sista Service
Are you navigating challenges in your work environment for yourself, or a colleague, surrounding anti-racism, or discrimination in the areas of culture, ethnicity, race or neurodiversity?
I get it, I’ve been there and I know how hard it is. Sometimes you feel defeated, angry, and exhausted.
Whether you are grappling with microaggressions, systemic barriers, and a lack of representation which is causing stress, overworking and, imposter syndrome, it’s time to call a sista!
This is your opportunity to take a minute to ask for help before you get trapped on the road leading you to burnout and racial trauma!
You’re not alone, and immediate help is here, in the form of a 15 minute call for fast support.
Why 'Call a Sista Fridays'?
The emotional and psychological toll of navigating systemic barriers can be overwhelming for members of the global majority. This experience is often exacerbated by microaggressions, lack of representation, and other forms of workplace discrimination yes, there is often no one to talk to about it. No safe spaces to exhale and regroup.
EDI Executives and Allies, or as I prefer to call them, “supporters,” are not exempt from this emotional frustration as they strive to advocate for a more equitable work environment. The “Call a Sista” service is often so much more than just a call; it’s a lifeline.
Don’t wait until you are fully depleted and burnt out before you ask for help!

This service offers you 15 minutes of undivided attention from someone who understands the unique challenges you face, validating your experiences and feelings and helping you to stay in alignment with your personal power.

Hey, JJ Here,
If you’re reading this, it’s likely because you’ve felt the weight of the world on your shoulders recently, as you navigate the complexities of the working in a system that is not set up for people who look like us, or the people you are supporting. Well, not yet at least!. I want you to know, first and foremost, you’re not alone. I’ve been where you are, and I’ve felt what you’re feeling.
As a Black woman with over 16 years of corporate experience in the legal industry, and working in the EDI space, I’ve faced the microaggressions, the systemic barriers, and the emotional toll that it all takes on your spirit. I’ve been the “only one” in the room, in the team, in the office, more times than I can count, and I’ve had to navigate spaces that were not designed with me in mind.
But here’s what I’ve also learned: We are stronger together. Sometimes, all it takes to ease that weight is a conversation with someone who gets it. Someone who can offer not just sympathy but empathy. Someone who can provide not just generic advice but structured, real-time coaching that comes from a place of understanding, lived experience and certified expertise.
That’s why I’ve created “Call a Sister Fridays.” This is our a space, non-judgemental. A space where you can let off steam, gain structured support, and receive real-time coaching and advice. A space where you can be unapologetically you, without the fear of judgement. It’s your 15 minute ‘down time’.
So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, undervalued, in need of a sisterly chat or someone to listen to you, I’m here for you, let me hold you some space. Let’s navigate this challenge together and find our way back to empowerment, and career satisfaction.
