Karen Fleshman, Esq. shares about her article Dear Black Folks: A Love Letter From A White Woman.
Karen Fleshman, Esq. helps people and companies understand how conscious and unconscious biases work and develop an inclusive culture where all viewpoints are welcomed and valued. She speaks, writes, and offers training and coaching, both on her own and in collaboration with her partners, Dr. Dionne Wright Poulton and Dr. Verenice Gutierrez. She is a sought after public speaker and publishes frequently on Huffington Post and LinkedIn. She believes in lifting while she climbs and connecting people in her large national diverse network with investment, professional, and philanthropic opportunities.
Despite growing up in one of the least diverse regions in the country, Karen’s commitment to equal opportunity began in elementary school. She has worked for diverse, inclusive organizations throughout her career, where her mentors, mentees, colleagues, leaders, friends and most of all, the people she served helped her develop cultural competency skills. Prior to starting her consulting practice in the Bay Area, Karen was a founding team member of Year Up New York, where between 2007 and 2012 she led a fundraising team that fueled its growth from serving 27 students a year to 270 students a year. Previously, she served in the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations in the City of New York Department of Youth and Community Development in a variety of capacities, including Assistant General Counsel and Director of Internal Review. She is a cofounder of Citizenship NYC, a city service that assisted 50,000 New Yorkers to apply for naturalization, and of Ladders for Leaders, a city service that connects low-income high school students to corporate internships and college. Karen began her professional career as an immigrant community organizer in Austin, Texas.
