In honor of the Jay Z Yankee Stadium tickets I didn’t get….allow me to reintroduce myself.
Whether you're a first time reader or a longtime subscriber, this one is for you. A full picture of what Equity Activations does and what's happening right now. If any of it resonates, I'd love to hear from you. And if you know someone who needs this work, please pass it along. As my mom used to say, a closed mouth don’t get fed!
The Way We Work Newsletter
This newsletter blends workplace thought leadership, musings on where we are headed at work, and fiction. I believe fiction is an important way for us to learn and understand the multitude of lived experiences we have in the workplace. So while you'll find some of my thoughts, you will also find two series here:
The Reqs is microfiction about recruiting and talent acquisition. It's the kind of thing you forward to your team without having to explain why it's relevant.
Gidget Ignores Red Flags is a multipart story about a Black woman navigating workplace dysfunction as the only in her company. It's layered, it's real, and it's the kind of story a lot of us have lived.
I'm also currently running a Women's Workplace Experience Survey, collecting real, firsthand accounts from women about how they experience work. Our voices coming from us. Findings publish this spring.
The Origin Arc
The Origin Arc is the foundational methodology behind everything Equity Activations does. It's built on the belief that every person has an origin story that shapes how they show up at work, how they lead, how they hire, and how they grow. When we understand that, we stop treating people like interchangeable parts and start building workplaces that actually work for human beings. The Origin Arc is the root. Everything else grows from it.
The Interview Arc
The Interview Arc is a training for hiring managers and TA teams who want to build more intentional, equity-centered interview processes. Rooted in The Origin Arc, it helps teams move beyond checking boxes and start asking better questions, about candidates and about their own processes. It's about building the kind of hiring experience that reflects the workplace you're trying to create.
Fractional Recruiting and People Ops
You might not have heard the term fractional before, and that is okay. Here is what it means for your business: you get an experienced Talent or People leader working inside your organization on an ongoing, part-time basis, without hiring someone full-time. You get a seasoned leader embedded in your business, learning your culture, and building the people programs, hiring strategies, and operational foundations that growing companies need.
Your business is moving and you need someone in your corner who gets it. At Equity Activations, fractional leadership means you get senior-level strategy, real operational experience, and the kind of thoughtful people-centered leadership that actually moves the needle. You get the expertise without the overhead. Click here for more.

Our stories at work matter and I will be the one who continues to amplify them.
There’s no need to let your talent problems continue. Recruiters are busy recruiting but we can solve your training challenges to ensure you are getting the best candidate assessments you need to make your business stronger.
