Client voices
What our clients say
From executive directors to founders, here is what the people and organizations we have worked with have to say about the experience.
I met Chiany in 2021 through the Bruce's Beach Task Force, and I was immediately impressed by her dedication and expertise. She led our PR efforts, which were recognized by LA County Supervisor Hahn and Senator Steve Bradford. Chiany went on to support the founding of Culture Club South Bay — a youth diversity program bringing hundreds of kids of color to Bruce's Beach — and four years later, she hasn't left my side. You can count yourself lucky if you have Chiany on your team.
Allison Hales, Founder
Culture Club South Bay
The Inclusion School was the perfect consultant for our Action Plan for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Chiany asked the right questions, offered vital perspectives, and pushed us to ensure our commitments were rooted in meaningful change. Her expertise made our Action Plan more inclusive, more intentional, and more actionable. We look forward to working with her again.
Kim Maxwell, Founder and Executive Director
The Townies Inc.
As an organization that serves all teens, it is important that we learn how to provide inclusive education to everyone in our programs. Chiany and The Inclusion School have been instrumental in training our workshop facilitators as well as providing education to our program participants. We will continue to learn from and work with Chiany, and feel grateful to do so.
