“Leela has been working with us to enhance an understanding and appreciation of equity, diversity, and inclusion principles across the Ontario college sector by developing a robust framework for ongoing conversations around diversity and inclusion. We are immensely grateful for Leela’s contributions and highly recommend her services to any organization seeking to make meaningful progress in equity, diversity, and inclusion.”

“What stands out for me working with Leela is that she obviously values the work of practitioners and community members. She finds ways to help that honour the position and circumstance of her partners and doesn’t try to apply a particular structure or theory that suits her best. Rather, she listens to what partners need and want and offers what she can that meets those needs. “
