Welcome, I'm Cristal.

​

I am a bold and tenacious Advocate, Educator, Consultant who focuses is on equity, anti-oppression, and anti-racism. Specifically, examining and uprooting the intrinsic inequities that enhance access for some and inhibit it for others. My work is grounded in a fundamental anti-racism, anti-oppressive and liberation ethic that focuses on the interconnected experiences of individuals and interlocking systems of oppression. 

  

With over 8 years of in sectors and spaces like: education, mental health and youth justice, community activism and development, I have observed patterns and practices that make these institutions inaccessible for marginalized communities and successfully advocated for both policy change systemic practices that impact the most marginalized communities.  

 

I work with individuals, communities and organizations with an expertise on racialized youth and women to, cultivate equitable and anti-oppressive policies, programs and practices that promote community-centric leadership to build sustainable systems and communities. 

  

With a tenacious approach and zealous spirit, I work alongside various communities and individuals, with the ultimate goal of transforming sectors. I do so by challenging intuitional cultures and replacing inherently inequitable practices and systems, with ones that are created by and for the communities they are intended to serve.
