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?
