Organizations are seeking meaningful cultural change, but don't quite know where to begin. I develop a custom roadmap that addresses your unique needs and brings about true transformation.

MEET FATIMA.

Speaker. Consultant. Trainer. Advocate.

Hello, and welcome! I'm Fatima M. Smith, a “social mom-trepreneur,” survivor, and fierce advocate for communities of color. I'm also the Founder of FMS Speaks, a platform that trains, educates, and equips institutions looking to enhance their Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI) initiatives.

Areas of Expertise

Justice, Equity,

Diversity, & 

Inclusion

I utilize a JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) approach because often diversity and inclusion are used as coded language that does not center justice, equity or liberation.

Bystander

Intervention

Explores the different types of bystander, obstacles and strategies to intervening through small group discussion and real world examples.

Bravery

and

Burnout

As organizations are making an effort to make brave and bold moves to be responsive to racial and social injustice, we must address how we find balance between moving the organization forward and supporting staff that belong to historically oppressed groups.

Consent &

Healthy

Relationships

Get the basics of seeking and receiving consent through everyday activities. We will learn a practical definition of consent; role play in small groups, and identify obstacles and misconceptions of consent
