Hello, we are

One Nation

One Tribe

Mission

 We are a collective of Professionals of Color who are committed to social reform through the cultivation of spaces and places rooted in belonging-centered principles that allow for all community members to co-create learning experiences where everyone feels safe, seen, and valued. 

Vision

On OT serves to create a nation with a cross-cultural, collectivist identity where everyone is valued, heard, and welcomed, so that any individual can find meaningful connections no matter where their life journey takes them.

Core Beliefs

• Connection and belonging are fundamental to both individual and collective fulfillment.
• Moral decisions should not be based on outcome; right is right no matter how things end up turning out.
• The most historically marginalized and vulnerable people deserve to have spaces designed with them in mind.
• As life-long learners, we know that everyone has missteps and shaming someone for their errors will not help to grow them.
• Sometimes personal sacrifices or compromises must be made for the collective good of the community.
• Family represents the highest form of connection and does not necessarily have to include blood relatives.
• Cultures are enhanced when they are shared and explored by others in a way that is appreciative rather than appropriative.
• There are more commonalities in beliefs and experiences that bind us than there are that divide us.
• Connecting people to pre-colonial cultural roots and traditions empowers those who have lost a sense of self from assimilation.
