OUR OFFERINGS

Thousand&One was built on the realization that systemic structures impact our workplaces, benefiting some of us, while leaving the rest behind. We help leaders, allies, organizations, and women of colour navigate some of the most pressing workplace challenges and create more inclusive, equitable, and community-driven solutions.

WHAT WE DO

We design bespoke workshops and programs for women of colour, allies, teams, and organizations to increase leadership capacity, identify strategies to navigate unjust systems, and build braver spaces that prioritize wellness and belonging.

WORKSHOPS & TRAINING

We conduct research, curate content, and distribute a monthly newsletter to amplify the voices and experiences of women of colour, share insights to advance inclusion in the workplace, and grow a community dedicated to leveling the playing field.

RESEARCH & CONTENT

We collaborate with partners, bring experienced practitioners and speakers together, and organize events and panels to advance conversations around the current state of the workplace with the goal of creating a more inclusive future for women of colour.

EVENTS & PROGRAMMING

OUR SIGNATURE OFFERING

An Introduction: Supporting Women of Colour in the Workplace 

Launched after a successful pilot in July 2021, this interactive half-day workshop is designed with and for women of colour to equip them with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to thrive in their professional lives. In this workshop, participants will:

  • Understand the current state of the workplace, unpack what the ‘Concrete Ceiling’ means, and how it impacts our day-to-day;

  • Share space with fellow women of colour to discuss experiences, challenges, and common workplace biases faced;

  • Brainstorm strategies and tips to navigate common workplace challenges, and begin to create a collective support toolkit.

QUARTERLY MEETUPS

Thousand&One’s quarterly event is a recurring virtual community meetup for women of colour and allies, centred around a particular theme. We aim to create brave spaces, where our community can share knowledge, experiences, and ideas. Meetups include three core elements:

  • Speaker Presentation: We will engage an external woman of colour speaker to present on the theme for that quarter;

  • Interactive Session: Using breakout rooms, we will provide community members with a prompt to generate ideas and solutions;

  • Networking Event: Community members are able to connect with one another and form new relationships.

A Recurring Space to Share, Learn, and Grow
