/ Who we are

BUILDING CULTURAL DIVERSITY. KEDZ Consulting provides anti-racism, diversity, equity and inclusion training and consultation that inspires transformative change in individuals and across organizations. We use the frameworks of anti-Black racism and anti-oppression to create customized training and workshops that meet organizations and participants where they are, taking into consideration different awareness, knowledge and capacity levels.

/ Learning Sessions

BUILDING CULTURAL DIVERSITY. We provide participants with the deeper insights and contextual knowledge needed to understand acute issues such as unconscious bias, racial identities, racism, anti-Black racism, cultural bias and more. Our customers find they come away experiencing a fundamental shift in the way they approach their operations and interact with stakeholders. The topics covered in these multi-session workshops help to fulfill the broader goal of an organizational culture shift that inherently requires a “top-down” approach to cultivate. These sessions instill hope and begin the process of true transformational change.

/ Education & Institutions

We offer a wide-number of programs for all levels of the education industry—from elementary schools to school boards to post-secondary institutions—we create custom programs to help meet the needs of your organization.

/ What Our Clients Say

KEDZ has a firm grasp of the issues, a reasoned, strategic approach to making improvements and an understanding of the value of cultivating and nurturing a network that can help. We partnered with KEDZ to take a forensic review of our equity, diversity and inclusion goals and objectives. As a national industry association for one of Canada’s largest industries, we sought a fresh eye for a generational challenge and we found it.

Flavio Volpe, PresidentAutomotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association

We recently worked closely with Charline and Garth to lead a session with our leadership team. Their passion, insights and delivery was powerful and professional. I’m grateful to have engaged them to share their perspectives and their call for more action and leadership accountability. As one of our VPs said ‘the session left me breathless and it inspired me to do more, to act more and to continue this quest of speaking out, speaking to our teams, friends and family. Rest assured that this conversation has been impactful and will carry on and make a difference.'

The KEDZ consultants are grounded in real-life experience and it's evident in their work towards racial injustice. Nuances and tensions are not always captured in strictly theoretical approaches to anti-racist work. The consultants were able to frame the struggles for racial and intersecting injustices that we face within a larger socio-political and historical context. They also helped us to identify and take concrete steps to un-learn, learn, and take action. The presentation by KEDZ Consulting was the beginning of an ongoing structural and cultural shift in our committee work rooted in their questions that guided us, and continue to inform every aspect of our work.
