Keynote Speaker

Janelle Benjamin, B.A. J.D

Janelle is an award-winning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) consultant that helps employers make their workplaces diverse, inclusive, and safe for everyone.

Janelle has been helping organizations break barriers to inclusion for almost 20 years, mostly in provincial and municipal government.  After suffering her own mistreatment in the workplace, she decided it was time to help others effect systemic change. 

 

She founded All Things Equitable, one of the Top 10 Canada Emerging Diversity and Inclusion Companies, to contribute to this historic movement for social justice and racial equity and she provides consulting services to employers. 

 

Her recommendations for change have resulted in large-scale transformation to organizations and continuous improvement in a multitude of sectors and she has been featured in Forbes, the Globe & Mail, the Toronto Star, and has been seen on Rogers TV and the Ebony Podcast Network.
