About Us

Minnesota and America witnessed the killing of George Floyd in 2020 and then a civil uprising that represented a means for more justice and reform in access and having a sense of belonging without the need to assimilate.  For many years our Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) community have asked for access, fairness in employment, wage equity and being able to simply walk down the street without being seen as a predator.  Women, as well, have asked for the same, and to be recognized as equal wage earners and placed in leadership positions. It took 9:29 minutes/seconds to wake the world up! 

We don't need another wake up call. What we need is action from and by employers that speaks to communities of color, the disenfranchised or underrepresented, to your client base, your customers, and to your network that is systematically woven throughout how you show up and do your work and how you are viewed externally.  iONIS Solution calls this 'Inside-Out Energy' because what you implement, how you treat your internal clients, will show the world who you are.

We have an actionable call for Minnesota companies and organizations to DO BETTER!  Begin to realize diversity as a benefit to increase your branding and profits, not a number.  The disparities haven't changed - Minnesota remains to be the fourth worse state for racial equity.  Our BIPOC communities and women need to believe they are worth the opportunity to share at the table.
