Why Is Diversity & Inclusion Important To Us?

D&I is important to me because despite my qualifications, I am a black female who has struggled to be recognized in management conversations most of my professional career. I value working in an organization where I can be my full self and the quality of my work determines the level of my success.

Kristie Jones-Davis
Fractional CFO

Diversity is not just important to Walk West, it’s imperative. Diversity helps us all grow, both professionally and personally by learning from each other. Each employee brings a unique set of experiences and perspectives from their background. When we take the time to slow down and learn from each other, we work better together for the greater good of the company and our clients.

Mackenzie Rackley
People and Culture Manager

People should be treated equally, no matter their gender, ethnicity, or ability. At Walk West, not only are we incorporating inclusion and digital equity into our work, but also into our culture as well. And that has lasting impact, both on us as employees and the community we serve.

The Diversity Movement was founded in late 2019 by Jackie Ferguson, Donald Thompson, Kurt Merriweather, Sharon Delaney McCloud, and Kaela Kovach-Galton, 5 innovators from within Walk West who are passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). By January of 2021, The Diversity Movement employed 12 full-time staff members, had a portfolio of over 30 clients, and was designated a minority-owned and independent business. Walk West provided The Diversity Movement with the launching pad they needed to rocket into full-time DEI work, and they’ve grown exponentially as a result.
