Her Brave Space
Tess Cruz Foley
A Mexican American behavior analyst and social justice advocate who struggled to navigate her own intersectional identity. Her desire to heal from internalized oppression and supremacy beliefs, led her to research best practices in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) from corporate, HR, education, and individual perspectives. And Brave Space was born. Her approach to integrating compassion and science to create mindful, evidence-based learning experiences has made her a sought-after speaker and presenter. The stories you read here are her truth.
