About DeEtta Jones & Associates

Post 2020 so much has changed about what it means to lead organizations, beyond merely driving profits for shareholders to being a steward of social good. It means that we are actively investing in more sophisticated skills working across cultures and identities. It means thinking expansively about creating new systems that are built to be open, to share knowledge and power in ways that amplify and accelerate buy-in and commitment. At DeEtta Jones & Associates (DJA), we are committed to help our clients become the best and most inclusive versions of themselves. We want to help you change the world.

DJA is a Black and woman-owned consulting firm specializing in equity, diversity and inclusion training and strategy. Established in 2005, we work with hundreds of companies and thousands of people every year.

Our Shared Values

DJA's values represent our collective lived experiences. We value:

• Leadership expressed in many ways.
• Knowledge from a broad array of disciplines, fields, ways of knowing, and traditions.
• A growth mindset and commit to bringing this perspective to every new or knotty challenge. Setbacks are not failures, but learning opportunities.
• The power of role models and commit to exemplifying the kind of care, commitment, and consideration that we encourage in others.
• Well-being and personal care. We are kind to each other and our clients, and expect the same in all of our interactions, even during difficult situations.
• Transparency. We are who we say we are. We do what we say we will do. This is how trust is built and sustained.
• The journey. We do not judge each other, our clients, or others who are at a different point. We, too, are on a journey and know that the vantage point, from wherever we are, may be only visible to those who are living it. We commit to meeting you where you are and actively seeking ways to support a path forward.
