Building Workplaces Where Every Voice Matters and Every Person Belongs
Leveraging legal expertise and real-world experience, we guide organizations through DEI challenges, cultivating safe, inclusive, and equitable environments for all marginalized groups — ripe for innovation and sustainable growth.
We believe that creating workplaces where everyone belongs is a necessity for driving higher engagement, retention, and innovation.
— and it starts with acknowledging that we all have a role in dismantling the systems and changing the current ways of doing things to ensure justice, dignity, and equitable treatment for all, regardless of background or identity.
You can be the change-maker who turns DEI commitments into action and concrete results.
Hi, I’m Janelle Benjamin
Founder and CEO of All Things Equitable, and I’m dedicated to creating culture where everyone belongs.
For nearly two decades, I've been at the forefront of DEI, accessibility, and human rights. As a trained lawyer and former human rights investigator, I've seen firsthand the challenges organizations face in creating truly inclusive environments. I've worked with government agencies to pass laws and implement legislation promoting fairness and equity.
The blend of legal expertise and real-world experience allows me to see beyond surface-level issues and create solutions that honor the full humanity of every individual.
My commitment to this work goes beyond professional experience. It's also deeply personal.
The events of 2020 and the murder of George Floyd reinforced what I already knew: we need to do more than just talk about diversity. We need to actively dismantle the systems that create barriers and perpetuate workplace trauma and inequity.
At All Things Equitable, we don’t just scratch the surface. We dig deep to uncover the root causes of workplace inequity and exclusion. Our approach is holistic, recognizing that true change comes not just from policies but from a fundamental shift in how we value and treat each human being in the workplace.
This work isn't easy. It requires courage, commitment, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths. But the rewards are immeasurable: workplaces where every individual can thrive, contribute, and realize their full potential without fear of being devalued or discarded.
If you're ready to move beyond performative actions and create measurable change that uplifts every member of your organization, we're here to guide you.
Together, we can build a workplace where:
Every individual's inherent worth is recognized and celebrated
Diverse perspectives are not just heard but actively sought out and valued
Retention rates soar, especially among underrepresented groups, because they feel genuinely respected and supported
Departments collaborate effectively, leveraging diverse perspectives
Equitable practices are in place for hiring, onboarding, and advancement
Psychological safety is high, and all voices are respected
DEI goals are measurable, actionable, and achieved, focusing on both organizational success and individual well-being
You don't need to have it all figured out. That's what my team and I are here for — to guide you in building a thriving, inclusive workplace culture of empathy, respect, and shared success.
We are here to support you when you’re ready.
