ABOUT THE FOUNDER

The Journey Behind MindKind Collective

 

I built this firm to shape a future of work that is human-first, equity-rooted, and created with those too often left out of leadership and innovation.

As an Eritrean American immigrant and mother, resilience has defined my journey. Arriving in the U.S. at 13, I learned early that no one should have to struggle alone to feel seen, safe, or supported. That belief drives everything I do.

For 15+ years, I’ve been at the frontlines of labor relations, workforce equity, and organizational transformation negotiating contracts, building equity pipelines, and driving cultural change that touches thousands of lives. My work has spanned unions, nonprofits, and public agencies, always with one goal: to put people at the center of power.

Working with MindKind Collective was eye-opening and grounding for our team. The equity inventory helped us see clearly where we were doing well and where we needed to shift. Betelhem guided us with care, honesty, and deep expertise, making the process feel approachable while still challenging us to grow. We walked away with practical steps, more substantial alignment, and a renewed commitment to equity in everything we do. We're grateful for this partnership and highly recommend MindKind Collective to others on the journey toward meaningful change.
