Frailty Myths

Building Power and Advancing Justice through Practice

about us.

Frailty Myths does diversity and inclusion differently. We are an impact-driven, practice-based, and value-led organization. Our unique, experience-centered programming results in lasting behavioral changes that lead to more just, inclusive, and diverse workplaces and communities where everyone can thrive.

We see you trying. We see the frustration and fatigue when impact falls painfully short of your efforts. We can help.

So….What’s with all the tools?!

Whether virtual or in-person, our programming creates transformative experiences through our experiential, learning model that pairs hands-on skills learning with facilitated conversations. We cultivate a space where your team gets to practice being in the world we are trying to create.

It is the beautiful messiness of real change.

It is innovative, integrated, and iterative.

We move out of the conceptual and into real-world impacts that you will feel.

We know awareness isn’t enough.

We know a more just world and loving is possible.

We have the tools to build it.

Shared experiences mean tighter and more effective teams. At Frailty Myths, we know that communication can be hard. And we also know that creating a clear and concise communication strategy is one of the keys to success. Through our custom built Team Building Training, we’ll create experiences that will be fun and help your team bond. We also cultivate experiences with challenges and tools that leave participants better able to communicate their needs, be more seen, and become more confident members of the team.

Frailty Myths has programming designed for young people too! We know that young people are ready and able to tackle the problems of racism, patriarchy, and white supremacy and build better communities. We offer training, including collective visioning, diversity inclusion, and team building workshops for K-12 and Universities around the world.

Our Collective Visioning and Alignment series are for organizations and groups that feel like they’re ready to take the next step in imagining and building the world that we want to live in. This workshop is instrumental in helping groups get alignment on a shared vision and begin the process of creating the pathway to imagination needed to achieve that vision.

Frailty Myths offers intensive team retreats from 2 – 10 days. Our retreats are immersive, experiential, and profoundly transformative. We combine hands-on activities with powerful and skilled facilitation to create an environment that will undoubtedly move your team to new levels of effectiveness. We are sure that the skills you learn and the experiences you have during the retreat will contribute in strong and meaningful ways to your team’s success long after you leave.

What we believe in

Together, we are building the world we want to live in

The Power of Practice

There is no one answer or one way. We honor our differences and the journey we are each on. In order to change behaviors we need to practice the new ones. That means space to make mistakes and try again. It means grace as we grow and hone new skills. We believe in learning by doing and building a culture of feedback where we are nimble and nuanced and can all thrive. We unpack as we build, revealing broken systems while actively participating in what a more just way feels like.

Messiness & Curiosity

We believe in the beautiful messiness of change. We reject ideas of perfectionism and rigidity to embrace messiness and curiosity. We try things on, ask questions, and explore what works and what doesn’t. This is where the real learning happens. This is where we truly learn to communicate and grow into our whole selves.

Trust & Accountability

We are in this work for the long happen. Change doesn’t happen overnight and we trust the process and our theory of change. We trust people’s lived experience and that we know what is best for ourselves. We embrace personal agency and self-determination. Our intersectional framework centers the substantive differences in
experience that people have related to overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination and disadvantage.

Hard Doesn't Mean bad

This work is hard. It is uncomfortable. And that is where we can grow. We understand the importance of communication and emotional intelligence and work to build muscles that allow for us to truly communicate. When we avoid conflict we avoid change. Hard can be beautiful.

Testimonials.

Smashing Myths and Changing Lives.

“I took a workshop with Frailty Myths in NYC & it was everything I’ve been looking for — a space to create, do woodworking work that previously felt inaccessible to me, AND to be able to do so in community with other queer & trans people was 100% a dream come true. The facilitators set the groundwork for us to explore not only the physical skills but also root us back into how these skills originate from Black & brown communities. They broke down how we could learn together without judgement & were clear & patient each step in the way about all the power tools. I left the workshop radiating, with new community in this city.”
