Hi. Welcome here.
My name is Lexa, she/her
Lived experience informs everything I do — as an advisor, photographer, and storyteller. My practice is rooted in self-awareness, inclusion, and accessibility, and shaped by the belief that culture shifts through the choices we make every day.
With a coaching-informed advising approach, I work with communities, teams, and brands to grow awareness, recognize barriers, and choose how to remove them. Through photography, I document lived experiences that make belonging visible and reflect a culture where every person is considered, appreciated, and valued.
Together, we shape what’s possible.
Self-Awareness
The foundation for authentic action, openness, and leadership that supports inclusion and equity.
Rooted in Practice: Self-awareness is noticing who we are being in any moment. It keeps us open—aware of our impact, our choices, and our possibilities.
Practice: With self-awareness, we stay open to change, connection, and the cultures we are shaping together.
Inclusion
Creating spaces where every voice has weight.
Rooted in Self-Awareness: Inclusion begins by looking inward. When we feel discomfort or judgment toward another person’s identity, expression, or way of being, we can pause and remember: exclusion is something we’ve learned, not a reflection of someone’s worth. Self-awareness grounds us in the truth that every human is valuable, and invites us to choose openness over habit.
Practice: Inclusion asks us to expand our awareness—to recognize that others don’t need to think, act, or live like us to be part of community and to be valued, and that our communities and cultures are strengthened by our differences.
Personal Autonomy
Honoring each person’s right to self-direction and choice.
Rooted in Self-Awareness: Autonomy asks us to be aware of our influence, power, or control, and to stay open to the choices and paths others hold for themselves.
Practice: Respecting autonomy means noticing when we are centering our own way of being, and opening to the reality that another person’s way is theirs—not ours to change, direct, or influence unless invited.
Equity
Committing to fair systems and opportunities, not equal ones.
Rooted in Self-Awareness: Equity requires us to be open to seeing where systems, privileges, or patterns create barriers, even when they don’t affect us directly.
Practice: Acting with equity means staying open to difference, noticing overlooked needs, and adjusting so fairness is real—not assumed.
Being Valued
Ensuring people are recognized for their lived experience, strengths, and contributions.
Rooted in Self-Awareness: Valuing others asks us to stay open to perspectives that are different from our own, rather than reducing people to roles or assumptions.
Practice: To value someone is to see them fully, with openness to the strengths, stories, and contributions they carry.
Belonging
Fostering environments where people feel valued in community.
Rooted in Self-Awareness: Belonging begins with how we show up. It asks us to notice the signals we send—whether we close off or open up for connection.
Practice: Belonging is created when we are open to others as they are, not as we expect them to be.
Accessibility
Designing practices, environments, and experiences that remove barriers.
Rooted in Self-Awareness: Accessibility begins with who we are being. Each choice—to say yes or to hold back—shapes whether doors are opened or closed.
Practice: Accessibility is a daily act of openness: noticing barriers, choosing to remove them, and creating space where participation is possible for everyone.
