What People Are Saying

 

Chianti Blackmon is the epitome of the name of her consulting business, The Grace in Growth. She prioritizes offering grace while helping individuals and organizations to truly grow and transform when discussing topics and training on the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

One of the things that makes Chianti such a skilled transformation consultant is her ability to listen to what is being said and what is not being said. She’s very intuitive to picking up on energies and managing varying energies/opinions that exist in the same space. She goes beyond training individuals and organizations in DEI by getting to the root of the matter. She understands deeply that true transformation of the heart of an individual/organizations is what creates long term and long lasting change.
