Misgendering happens to cis-gender people too because of societal bias.

Assuming someone’s role, ethnicity or gender based on how they look damages our ability to foster respectful and trusting relationships.

“It’s wild the amount of requests for business or donations I receive from people and companies assuming I’m a white man because of my name. It feels extractive and offensive all at the same time.”

- CEO August M Ball (a Black cis-gender woman)

2016 - 2019 saw the lowest unemployment in Canada in 50+ years. It was during that time he led the recruitment of more that 1200+ aviation professionals at all levels for one of Canada's top airlines in a period of scarce recruitment resources within a highly competitive industry, not known for its extravagant salaries.

August Ball’s work with Cream City Conservation has a very clear goal of getting the predominantly white-led environmental movement to radically change to include youth, people of color, and others who have historically been kept away from leadership, power, and decision making. We recently spoke with her about the progress she is seeing in Wisconsin.
