HI, I’M JAYA BHUMITRA

I’m a social justice activist who cares a lot about empowering people to live freely and with dignity and respect in their work and personal lives. As part of my quest to add meaning to my own life and support others, I'm sharing the knowledge I've gained from 20+ years of professional lessons—honed into a specific expertise in racial, gender, and worker justice—via four kinds of opportunities:​
 

• 1-1 coaching for people who are Black, Indigenous, and others of color seeking to develop their leadership and management skills, increase their ability to cope in difficult (especially white) workplaces while maintaining their sense of self and preserving power, and ultimately, cultivate a fulfilling career that maximizes their potential.

​

• Consulting for Black-, Indigenous-, and people-of-color-led or social justice-driven organizations on good leadership and management (including training of both new and tenured managers); policy development (including writing more protective anti-harassment and -discrimination policies for employees and reviewing compensation programs for equity and fairness); building culture and implementing wellbeing initiatives; and conflicts, accountability, and restorative justice.

​

• Free classes on negotiating, campaigning, and other topics for people who are Black, Indigenous, and others of color, collectively gathered under the banner "All the Things I Know: Skill-Sharing to Build Community Power."
   

• Speaking engagements and workshops during which I can present on any of the above ideas.

​

Thank you for including me in your journey. I'm happy to be in community with you, creating a better world with you.
