Blaque/OUT Consulting takes a very different approach to DE&I work. All the Educators that work with Blaque/OUT are not just trained professionals but are a part of the QTPOC community to ensure that they can speak from a point of personal experience. We feel that it is a vital component of the work we do. Lived experience reaches far beyond anything you can be taught.

 Blaque/OUT prides itself on creating curriculum and services that correlate directly to the specific agency, org or entity that we are working with. There is no such thing as cookie-cutter or one-size fits all Diversity, Equity and  Inclusion work. 

We encourage you to reach out for a 1:1 consultation to discuss what we do, your goals and how those things might work together. 


Generally speaking, Blaque/OUT offers the following services: 

Speaking Engagements

Workshops and Educational Sessions

Workshops and Educational Sessions

Workshops and Educational Sessions

Blaque/OUT provides very conversational based workshops and education for Boards, staff, teachers, organizers etc. that center around working through and implementing DE&I in an everyday working environment. This may mean one specific topic or multiple tackled in one session or over time. The facilitator will present content, take questions and provide feedback during these work sessions. This is where you have the opportunity to ask real questions that you may not be able to ask in many other spaces. These sessions can focus on topics such as: Pronoun usage in the workplace, Creating safe spaces for Trans staff/students, Implicit Bias and MicroAggressions etc.

It is imperative and socially responsible to make sure LGBTQ+, QTPOC and specifically Trans voices are at the table when creating plans of any kind that impact the community. Blaque/OUT subcontracts for grants, on community based projects and as subcontractors alongside the primary contractor to offer BIPOC/QTPOC/LGBTQ+ perspective on community facing projects and strategic planning contracts to ensure this portion of the community at-large is heard, represented and reflected within the planning process.
