We've spent years coaching, confronting, and reimagining leadership through our signature Anti-Oppressive Supervision™ training. Now, we're scaling up—way up.

In this episode of Come Get Your White People!, we're pulling back the curtain on the evolution of AOS: from a deeply personal, cohort-based program to an organizational intervention.

We talk about evolution, legacy, and liberation—and why this shift is about more than business. It's about building systems that remove harm from leadership and keep anti-oppression rooted at the center.

Ready to turn supervision into strategy—and scale change without selling out?

Yeah, us too! Listen in!
