About Transformative Changes

Transformative Changes is a the community arm of Chlo'e Edwards Consulting Brands. We are a social enterprise with a mission to ignite social and systems change in pursuit of justice and the liberation of humanity. We believe, we, the people, are the change. 

We foster change through the transformation of self or individual change, transformation of relationships or interpersonal change, and transformation of community or social and systems change. We implement this through our change brands, WOKE Literacy Institute, Blackity Black 365, and Stay Yoked. 

We believe in the evolution and revolution. Evolutionary change or cumulative change occurs across generations. This change is often irreversible. 

Revolutionary change or radical change  quickly transforms generational circumstances, systems, and behaviors but are often reversible when people, and institutions return to the status quo or old way of doing things. 

We believe in mitigative change and transformative change. Mitigative change  or equity reduces the harm of inequality. However, it does not eliminate the root cause of the harm or the attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs affiliated with the injustice. 

We believe in transformative change. It significantly shifts and redesigns the social systems and structures that caused the harm. Transformative change promotes justice and the liberation of humanity. 

We believe in breaking the status quo by empowering change makers to aspire and cultivate the change they wish to see in their communities. 

We specialize in intersectionality and serve as a liaison across systems. We exercise it in policy and specialize in cross-disciplinary issues across systems, including but not limited to public health, trauma-informed care, racial reconciliation, healing-centered engagement, and diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice. 

We also exercise it in practice in "how we pursue the change,"  We believe in the power of truth telling, healing, reconciliation, and repairing societal injustices and harms. We empower community leaders across a variety of industries, including direct-service,  policy, advocacy,  and research professionals and community members or direct witnesses of injustice and inequality. 

We believe in breaking the status quo. We believe in getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. Without discomfort, we believe we are unable to foster growth and societal progress.
