About Me …

My name is Kendra Lizardo, MSW (she/hers/ella). I started my career as a social worker in the New York City criminal justice system, as a counselor and health advocate for young adults. My practice also encompassed restorative justice, mental health advocacy and policy reform.

I have since collaborated with businesses and nonprofit organizations on a wide range of social justice initiatives through strategic communications, marketing campaigns, executive searches, and organizational development.

In these roles, I have discovered a passion for leveraging communications and digital storytelling to amplify marginalized voices. I am dedicated to fostering creative partnerships that support minority-owned businesses and organizations committed to social justice.
