I’m Kim A. Thompson.

I’m a Consultant, Writer, Speaker, & Storyteller. I’m a Community Connector & Influencer.

I’ve lived at the intersection of great privilege and marginalization for over five decades.


I’m an Ivy-league educated lawyer who spent over three decades in various executive positions of privilege in Corporate America. 


I’m a cisgendered, straight, able-bodied married woman who grew up in an upper middle-class two parent household.  

I am of Caribbean-Canadian descent.

I am a Black Woman living in the United States. 


And, whenever I’m not specifically recognized as the privileged insider – i.e., the well-educated lawyer, the executive, the board member, or the neighbor living in the high-income neighborhood – 


I’m an anonymous Black person.

I have always simultaneously been an INSIDER and OUTSIDER – at every phase of my life.

The Privileged Insider - Upper middle-class – 


Ivy league-educated – Corporate Executive – Included


The Anonymous Outsider - Invisible – Distrusted – Unworthy – Excluded

My Mission

My mission is to leverage my experiences and learnings of being the Insider and the outsider to help move individuals, communities and businesses from a place where –overt racism, unconscious bias and systems that perpetuate racism and other forms of bigotry hold us back as a society to a place where we recognize how those societal ills are holding us back and take action to address them.   


I have the experience, cultural dexterity and perspective to help you and/or your

organization to take empowered action. Empowered action to be inclusive of the

needs of all of your stakeholders – within and external to your organization. 


Your employees, your clients and customers, your vendors, your community. 


What if you could attract, welcome, embrace and retain a more diverse workforce?

Have more cultural awareness and dexterity in your product and service development and delivery?

I have the experience, cultural dexterity and perspective to help you and/or your organization.
