WE MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE AND GUIDE YOU ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
Our Story
We are proud to be a Woman-and-LGBTQ owned business.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive as their full self in the workplace. This is the belief—and lived experience—that inspired Jennifer Brown to start JBC in 2006. Having navigated the corporate world as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Jennifer was deeply familiar with the devastating individual and organizational impact of a workplace where employees feel pressured to cover essential layers of their identities. JBC, both in its own structure and in its work with clients, was built as an antidote and alternative to workplaces where assimilation is a prerequisite to belonging. The way we work, true belonging is achieved by recognizing, understanding, and celebrating one another’s differences.
Our Founder
Jennifer Brown is an award-winning entrepreneur, speaker, diversity and inclusion consultant, and author.
Jennifer envisions inclusive organizations where all of us can thrive. As someone who has experienced both the advantages of privilege and the sting of stigma, Jennifer is boldly redefining what it means to truly belong—in the workplace, in our families, and in our communities—and openly shares her powerful and unforgettable true story with audiences to help us challenge our assumptions—about ourselves, about leaders, and others—and take inspired action today for a more inclusive tomorrow.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
DEI IS NOT COMPLIANCE WORK.
In our experience—and when practiced the right way—DEI is soul-healing, culture-transforming work that everyone can benefit from, not only for their teams and organizations, but to unlock their own full potential.
We demonstrate how implementing long-term DEI strategies gives leaders access to their most authentic selves, so that they can open up that possibility for their employees, their colleagues, and their communities.
In our work, we are constantly reminded of the possibilities that effective DEI strategies can unlock on a company, community, and societal level. Getting there takes time, thoughtful planning and accountability, and a collective practice of compassion — JBC can be your coach and accountability partner at every step along the way.
We’re not in the business of shaming or blaming our clients. None of us moves through life without internalizing bias, and just as we learn it we can unlearn it. JBC is here to help you see what’s possible with a custom-made and thoughtfully implemented DEI strategy, and to guide you forward.
