 What our team loves about Empowered:

  • Susanne Nyaga

    Susanne (she/her)

    “So often working in Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) can look like working in silos and not having the autonomy required to advocate for impactful change. I chose to work for Empowered because it became clear to me that this is a space where EDI work is collaborative, accountable, autonomous and rooted in integrity. Empowered is a space where impactful change is not only possible but centralized in all we do.”

  • Shamita (she/her)

    “Empowered upholds so much integrity, yet so much humility at the same time. The work that is being done is intentional, innovative and humane. I chose to work at Empowered because I knew the impact this organization was going to have and the level of genuine commitment and passion they had to do the work right. It truly is a privilege to be able to work with such an incredible team, that motivates you to continue to learn and grow on both a personal and professional level.”

  • Christi (she/her)

    “Working at Empowered has been a truly inspiring experience. It has been an incredible privilege to work with a team that is not only deeply committed to the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion but also uses its wide-ranging knowledge and expertise to advance social justice across all sectors of society.”

  • Hollie (she/her)

    “What I like most about working at Empowered is how we cultivate safe and brave spaces where people can share, listen, learn and grow, both with our clients and with one another.”

  • Joyce (she/her)

It's so refreshing to work alongside experts in the field who are truly passionate about making this world a better place for EVERYONE.”
