About the Speaker:

Sukari is a cisgender woman, using the pronouns she, her, and they.  A member of the African diaspora, she is a heterosexual Baby Boomer, living with a hidden disability and some degree of socio-economic privilege as a U.S. National. She has no religious affiliation, believing strongly that the "universe provides." She is the daughter of a Jamaican immigrant father and a South Carolinian mother and was raised with one sibling in a working-class, multi-racial neighborhood in Los Angeles. Now residing in Northern Virginia, on the unceded tribal lands of the eradicated  Nacotchtank (Anacostan) indigenous people, Sukari has been developing leaders in all sectors for over 20 years.  She supports clients in the U.S. and abroad – virtually and face-to-face.  She is a devoted partner/spouse, a proud parent to three amazing human beings, and a favorably biased “Nona” to three delightful grandsons.

Sukari is a seasoned Organization Development (OD) Consultant and Leadership Coach (PCC).  She specializes in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility; Leadership and executive Development; Organization Transitions; Polarity Management; and Team Building.

An Adjunct Professor in the Human Resources Management Master’s Degree Program for the Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies, Sukari is the designer of and former Program Director for Georgetown’s Executive Certificate in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which is part of the Georgetown Institute for Transformational Leadership (ITL).
