EQUITY-FOCUSED LEADERSHIP

People often ask us why we emphasize equity in all our trainings, and the answer is simple. The world is a better place when everyone is thriving. This means catering to historically marginalized communities, like BIPOC and actively pushing back against systemic inequalities.

Let us pave the path towards a better, more equitable future.

PRIORITY ON WELL-BEING

Our workshops are built on the core knowledge that people do their best, when their health, family and overall well-being is prioritized along with their work. This is backed by research which show that companies are 20% more profitable when employees are engaged in their work.

Let us help you create such an engaged workplace.

Signature Workshops

When it comes to anti-racism, people struggle to move beyond performative gestures to meaningful actions. The real work begins when you leverage your power and commit to taking anti-racism action rooted in historical understanding and the wishes of the community you are serving. This workshop uncovers the systems of oppression in our society and creates a step-by-step realistic plan of anti-racist actions you can take.

Beyond Performativity:
How to be effective anti-racist allies

Understanding and Countering Islamophobia

Despite the increase in hate crimes against Muslims in the US, Islamophobia is a topic that is often missed even in safe and inclusive spaces. This workshop analyses the various components to Islamophobia, including the racial aspect, so we can break the layer of invisibility and misinformation, to counter the stereotyping and discrimination of Muslims and Islam.

Finding Your Voice as
A Person of Color

For a person of color, finding your authentic voice can be difficult in a society that often tells us to be something other than ourselves. In this exclusive workshop for our BIPOC clients, we take a look at racial trauma and the effect that it has on our physical and mental well-being. We also discuss how to start healing from that trauma, unlearn harmful mindsets and use our authentic voices to advocate for ourselves and our communities.

Lorelei Gonzalez
I have known the co-founders of A Better Force for several years and have used their services in the past. This year when I was writing a proposal to NSF with a large team, I reached out to Dr Seraj with the goal of creating new workshops. She took the time to understand the proposed project, the composition of the team and the requirements from the FOA. Within a few days they got back to me with beautiful images and fantastic ideas for workshops. I look forward to working with them again.

Dr. Sriramya Nair, Cornell University
Saamiya is very compassionate, a great listener, and very in tune with her clients. Her tailored approach cut straight through to what I needed, and she made it very easy to discuss the heart of my issues. Over the course of our sessions, I learned how to lift the wall of fear and make major strides towards what I truly wanted, not what others wanted for me.
