Shelbie’s day job involves creating customized experiences for clients as they prepare to work in new ways, but she’s also widely known for her work as co-lead of an internal Race & Social Equity Taskforce. In 2020, she helped build a non-profit organization called Movement for the Movement, which engages community members in conversations about systemic racism and encourages allies to take more active roles in dismantling the educational, psychological, and professional barriers faced by many Black Americans today.
