Inclusion, equity & dialogue · Cincinnati
I help teams talk honestly about identity, power, and belonging, and then do something with what they hear. Storytelling-led, judgment-free, and built for rooms where not everyone wants to be there.

Services
Every engagement is shaped around your people, your history, and what you need to be different afterward. Most start with a single call.
Interactive sessions on bias, belonging, allyship, and equitable practice, built for staff, supervisors, boards, or students.
Structured conversations across difference for teams, cohorts, and communities, including tense ones.
Confidential, well-designed sessions that surface what people actually experience.
Story-driven talks for conferences, convenings, and back-to-school or all-staff days that move audiences from awareness to commitment.
Ongoing facilitation for identity-based caucuses and accountability spaces, so staff have a place to process, learn, and build toward collective action.
Doing this work now
Many organizations are unsure what they can still say or do. Some have paused their work entirely. Your people still need to feel seen, and your leaders still need the skills to lead everyone.
I work with schools, nonprofits, and employers to keep that work going in ways that fit today's laws and policies.
How it works
A free 30-minute call to understand your goals, your people, and what's prompting the work.
A custom plan grounded in your data, whether that's survey results, focus groups, or what leaders are seeing.
Engaging sessions in person or virtual, built for honest conversation and real skill-building.
Reflection tools, like 30/60/90-day workbooks, and recommendations so the learning sticks.
In their words
"He is not performative. He is not there to check a box. He is there to do the work and to help others do it too."
Brice is by far the best facilitator I have ever seen. He brings humor to complex conversations… Attendees have RAVED about him and his facilitation.
He delivered a 2 hour presentation to Cincinnati Public Schools' 70+ school counselors… He was engaging, humorous, and knowledgeable, and clearly conveyed his respect for our profession.
He doesn't just check boxes; he shifts culture.
He lightens up a space, even when we are talking about very serious issues, while effectively helping everyone learn and grasp the material.
His workshops and training sessions aren't just informative but are transformative.
I always appreciate the way he centers accessibility and calls community into accountability.

Watch
The best way to know if I'm the right fit for your group is to hear how I show up.
My approach
People don't change because they were shamed. They change because they felt safe enough to be honest.
My methods come from years of experiential intergroup dialogue: start with the data, make room for how people feel about it, then work on the culture that produced it.
Real stories, including mine, open doors that statistics alone can't.
Everyone starts somewhere. The goal is growth, not a gotcha.
I model the openness I ask of participants, so the room follows.
Skeptical and reluctant audiences are where this work matters most.
About
I've done inclusion and equity work since 2009, mostly in healthcare, education, and nonprofits, partnering with more than 200 organizations along the way. I served as VP of DEI at Beech Acres Parenting Center and today work in civil rights at the University of Cincinnati.
For five cohorts I directed UC's Racial Awareness Program, a nine-month experiential intergroup dialogue program I first joined as a student. I've also been a senior consultant with Avant Consulting Group, a senior facilitator with Cohear, and a partnerships manager with Public Allies.
I've been a featured expert on WKRC Local 12 and given keynotes for Make-A-Wish and the Ohio Children's Alliance. I'm a graduate of School Board School Cincinnati and was part of Greater Cincinnati's Data for Equity cohort.
I hold a BS in Information Technology and a Graduate Certificate in Higher Educational Leadership from UC, and a DEI certificate from Cornell University.
Questions
Both. I'm based in Cincinnati and travel for in-person work. Virtual sessions are built to be just as interactive.
Anything from a small leadership team or caucus to a full staff, conference audience, or district-wide training.
It depends on the format, length, and amount of custom design. I'll give you a clear quote after our first call, and I have never turned down a client solely because their budget was too small.
No. Resistant and reluctant audiences are where I do some of my best work. I meet people where they are and keep the room safe for honest conversation.
Yes. I stay current on changing laws and policies and design sessions that fit what your organization can and needs to do.
Email me a little about your organization and what's prompting the conversation. I'll follow up to set up a free 30-minute consultation.
