Why hire us?

We add people-centered capacity for successful consultants who help beloved-community-building, environmental, and justice organizations move mindfully forward.

Mel’s equity and social justice lens is a perfect fit… she is a great critical thinker, and always asks the right questions to ensure she delivers quality work that reflects the project vision, on time and on budget. I love to bounce ideas around and think creatively with her!

– A. Michelle Long Spears, Founder & President, NP Voice

We believe that healthy relationships and whole individuals are essential to embody visions at the personal, interpersonal, and institutional level. With that foundation, groups are better equipped to address systemic racism, oppression, and other obstacles to their missions.

WV’s founder, Amelia “Mel” Shenstone, facilitates courageous spaces where participants can get centered, stretch their comfort zone to expand the realm of possibility, then build concrete plans to guide action and track success.
