HI, I’M JAYA BHUMITRA
I’m a social justice activist who cares a lot about empowering people to fulfill their potential and live their best lives. As part of my quest to live meaningfully and support others, I'm sharing the knowledge I've gained from 20 years of professional lessons via four kinds of opportunities:
-
1-1 coaching for people who are Black, Indigenous, and others of the global majority (of color) seeking to develop their leadership and management skills; improve their organizations through policy development, culture building, and wellbeing initiatives; increase their ability to cope in difficult (especially white) workplaces while building resilience and preserving their power; cultivate a fulfilling career that maximizes their potential; and explore the creative arts and their imagination as a way to heal from trauma.

-
Consulting for Black-, Indigenous-, and global-majority-led organizations on any of the above or related subjects. Previous projects have included strategic planning, management training, an equity review of compensation, and conflict-resolution. Learn more
-
Speaking engagements and workshops during which I can present on any of the above ideas. Learn more

ALL THE THINGS I KNOW:
SKILL-SHARING TO BUILD COMMUNITY POWER
Specifically for people who are Black, Indigenous, and others of the global majority (of color), this free, mutual aid program is about leveling up the skills of the racially oppressed in the areas of self-advocacy, management, leadership, and campaigning: skills to balance the scales of power and fuel the social justice revolution.
This 12-week series, comprised of 2-hour weekly modules, covers these and other topics:
-
Developing your inner activist
-
Campaigning for your cause through grassroots and corporate outreach
-
Writing (press releases, cover letters, etc.)
-
Negotiating, advocating for yourself, and communicating assertively
-
Building an anti-oppressive work culture (and, if necessary, blowing the whistle)
-
Managing people empathically and demonstrating leadership
-
Handling transitions and planning your ideal life
