OUR STORY

With over 20 years of experience as a leader in the LGBTQIA+ and reproductive justice nonprofit world, Jen is excited to work with organizations, businesses, and groups working toward equity and liberation for all people.

Grounded Liberation Consulting & Strategies, LLC exists to help guide organizations and movements to build strong foundations rooted in community and history so that we can cultivate liberation, equity, and enduring power.

Our name honors the wisdom of forests, where roots and fungi knit together vast communities of life. Old-growth trees share nutrients with neighboring trees, mycelium cleanses and transforms decay, and the whole system flourishes only through shared resources and trust. We believe social justice movements can and must follow this model: liberation requires interdependence, transformation, and a culture of care. We get to liberation together, deeply grounded in our purpose and deeply grounded in each other.
