All Things Being Equal is an innovative, passionate and energetic consulting firm committed to helping clients expand their cultural competency. Our firm has in-depth knowledge our clients can tap to understand, and relate to, the African-American, Black-Canadian, Black-British, West-Indian, and African cultures throughout the diaspora (from generationally settled people, to immigrants and first generation people, to biracial and multiracial people). This extends to also understanding the various communities that exist within each culture (different generations, religions, gender-identities, and sexual orientations).

The tool we use to assist clients is our groundbreaking service called ‘Cultural Impact Consulting’, originated by our President and principal consultant, Lincoln Anthony Blades, who has been using this approach to assist colleagues for almost a decade.
