Oakstop Salute 🫡 x Dr. Akilah Cadet aka @ChangeCadet

Popularly referred to as the ‘Olivia Pope of Diversity’, it’s fair to say Dr. Cadet wears a lot of hats (she definitely has a lot of shoes!). She is an author, a partial owner of the Oakland Roots and the Oakland Soul, and the founder and CEO of Change Cadet, an organizational development consulting firm. Her work is intersectional and impactful, and she fervently advocates for the rights of oppressed BIPOC and disabled people nationwide. Furthermore, Dr. Cadet’s accolades have been recognized from business outlets like Forbes, to media outlets like New York Magazine, making her an unstoppable force.

Her identity is core to her perspective and the title of her book speaks volumes about her world view. “White Supremacy Is All Around: Notes from a Black Disabled Woman in a White World” is a must read and tackles her own, often painful, journey as she physically, mentally, and emotionally navigates through life.

We were so fortunate to have her speak at our Xcelerate Oakland event last August and are looking forward to working with her even more in 2025. Dr. Cadet - keep being amazing, we salute you! #OakstopSalute #TownBizness
