Diversity consciousness in the workplace, in the home, in the community, and in society as a whole is not about compliance or tolerance. It is about deeply and authentically valuing each and every person as a critical part of the whole. Just as cell differentiation makes organic life possible, and different mechanical parts make a machine operational, so do different people and perspectives make organizations more effective and more dynamic than they can ever be without such diversity.
Lewis now speaks to, facilitates, and coaches other white men at work to enhance their self-interest in Diversity Equity Inclusion and Belonging after spending forty years in this field. His best contribution today is coaching or facilitating white male leaders individually or in small groups.

I have been a Bay Area resident since 1990, when a great career opportunity allowed me to relocate from San Diego. After a rewarding career in software development, I found myself at a career crossroads. I wanted to find a way for my work to have a more meaningful and tangible impact. College Nannies, Sitters and Tutors provides the opportunity to help families manage their busy lives and help children reach their full potential.
In my spare time, I love to travel, read, attend theatre and watch sporting events. Before launching College Nannies, Sitters + Tutors in Oakland and San Francisco, I took a long-deferred gap year to travel, read and enjoy many wonderful Bay Area events and attractions.

Tracy is the Founder and CEO of a successful nonprofit organization called, “Change To Come”, a women’s housing and support organization, located in Oakland, CA. Tracy founded this organization after having difficulties in her life of being a single parent. While working, Tracy was constantly reminded of women who were in similar situations as herself by hearing stories from co-workers and family members of how single parents were going through difficulties in their lives and needed support, or how their children were taken from them because of the lack of housing. As the stories grew the need to help grew. That’s when the quest to start a nonprofit began. Tracy is currently married with three children and three grandchildren. She enjoys a good book, listening to live jazz music, and going to plays. She also loves to spend time volunteering on political issues concerning women.

Money Pages,Franchise Owner
I am the local franchise owner of Money Pages. For over 20 years, the Money Pages franchise has been helping businesses grow and communities stay connected. My husband and I decided to bring Money Pages to Oakland because as transplants from Southern California, we felt there was no easily accessible and available resource to learn about Oakland businesses, non-profits, and events - - regularly. Our monthly magazine mails to over 50,000 households in and around Oakland through our partnership with the USPS. Our readers have come to rely on our publication to learn about new businesses opening, existing businesses that they may have forgotten about, and tickets to local events.
In addition to our monthly magazine, we provide hyper-targeted digital marketing tactics, WebDesign, logo creation, and social media management - one of our top-selling services.
