We want to experience the stage with you.
Why is community so important to us?
The essence of creating an alternative future comes from citizen-to-citizen engagement that constantly focuses on the well-being of the whole.

What type of events do we host?
Healing
To sustain the hearts of the DEIB practitioners community, we host events on a needed basis and when we’re able to get an experienced practitioner to hold space for us for those seeking community during turbulent times.
Exchanging
To normalize a community effort to get to our individual goals, our goal is to host events for those who need some help and/or are open to sharing resources, advice, or to barter.
Learning
To experience collective learning and empower our members by sharing the DCG stage, we try to host monthly learning events on a Friday at noon PST for the curious minds and critical thinkers.
How we support our speakers
STEP 1
Speaking Concept
We are creative at helping you craft your topic. It can be as simple or complex as you want it. Chat with us for a brainstorm session.
STEP 2
What we give
We promote your product, service, brand, podcast, etc. and provide you with a brave space to test your workshop or speaking materials and get feedback from other DEIB practitioners.
STEP 3
How we can help prep
We have trained speakers willing to provide coaching. No question is too big or too small. And we're ready for that last-minute help and reasonable requests. We execute a thorough promotional plan.
STEP 4
Day of event
We want this to be an effortless experience for you. We run a 5-minute slideshow to spotlight our speaker(s) and let the audience can trickle in. We provide the agenda and community guidelines and manage the chat. There will always be 1-2 DCG host(s) present.
"I was honoured to be asked to speak on the DCG stage, and I'm so glad I did. The event was well-organised and great fun, and Katherine asked some probing and interesting questions.
She said at the start that she didn't want the event to be boring - and it definitely wasn't. I felt that everyone there was engaged and energized, which was great for me as a speaker. As a bonus, I made some contacts that will help with my next project.
It's well worth your time, and I'd definitely do it again."
- Sharon Hurley Hall, Author, I'm Tired of Racism
This is how we want to flourish in the years to come

Systematize & Sustain
Create a strategy that will support our DCG leadership in focusing on you, the DCG community. This involves having a single executive sponsor who will fund a portion of our operations.
