If you want to change the world, there’s no such thing as being “too much”.
Welcome to Fictive Kin Equity Lab
We help sensitive, passionate, and driven world-changers learn to leverage their gifts, so that they can make an even greater impact.
How do we do this? The answer’s in our name.
FICTIVE KIN
Our Founder is an unapologetic word nerd who occasionally likes to mess around with their meanings.
“Fictive Kin” is a reminder that humans make sense of the world by creating stories, or “fictions”, that we then become very emotionally attached to.
And many of our society’s most enduring fictions have been inherited from a (colonial) worldview that is at odds with the goals of equity.
But when we remember that these exclusionary fictions are, you know, fiction, then we can use this knowledge to disrupt their influence and reduce their power.
EQUITY LAB
As far as we’re concerned, if you want to make the world more inclusive, humane, and just, there’s no such thing as knowing too much.
“Equity Lab” describes our approach towards helping our clients build their capacity to effect substantive, sustainable, social change.
We deliberately take a learning orientation, with thoughtfully designed services that prioritize curiosity, critical thinking, deep personal reflection, and having an experimental mindset that realizes the inherent value in asking the right questions, and not just focusing on getting the “right” answers.
