Bagwell Consulting believes that every human has the capacity for profound change if they seek it. We believe in trauma informed policy and practices and using the four ‘Rs’ of a trauma informed approach: Four R’s”: Realization about trauma and how it can affect people and groups, recognizing the signs of trauma, having system which can respond to trauma, and resisting re-traumatization. We believe that if we are curious, compassionate, and take time to have honest conversations we can begin to push through our prejudices and do the work needed to become better humans for other humans.

We have been taught, in our assimilation focussed United States of America education system, that we must know the answer before raising our hands to speak. Bagwell Consulting believes that is the antithesis of learning. Bagwell Consulting seeks to create bravely unsafe spaces where we can learn and grow in educating ourselves to be better people today than we were yesterday in a way that is challenging but fun.

Bagwell Consulting envisions a world where a Black neurodivergent disabled trans genderqueer person can access spaces physically and emotionally regardless of disability. A world where we are all free to participate in any facet of life we choose. When that happens, we will all be ‘eating ‘cake’.
