"At the heart of true DEI work is honest, human dialogue. And the first step is learning to sit with the discomfort that growth brings. I guide schools and families through these conversations with clarity, courage, and compassion."
-Kate M. Beal, M.A.T.
My Approach
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are about humanity, not politics. My work returns DEI to its original purpose: a grounded, human-centered, community-building practice rooted in dignity, curiosity, and courage. Through evidence-informed tools and practical strategies, I help children, families, and educators strengthen community, reduce bias, and create environments where everyone can learn and grow together.

"Kate taught me the importance of anti-bias teaching and how it should be implemented in the early years of children. For example, when I took her class, it encouraged me to add anti-bias to my curriculum for Pre-K students. As of now, this is something I practice as an educator."
