The Fold Chair Collective

Paying homage to Shirley Chisholm’s call, “to bring a folding chair”, The Folding Chair Collective partners with organizations to create environments where belonging is intentional and every individual is seen as a human first and a valued asset next - not just labor. We are dedicated to transforming workplaces, campuses, and communities through leadership development, strategic equity auditing, and people-centered culture building.

Our vision is to equip leaders, organizations, and institutions with the tools to create equitable tables where every individual is recognized as person first and an asset next, empowered to contribute, and supported to thrive. Our vision is a world where safe, sustainable tables exist everywhere, built through intentional leadership, equity auditing, and human-centered practices, and where everyone has both a seat and a folding chair of their own.
