M. Luna's work is rooted in a deep commitment to diversity, fostering inclusive spaces that support the LGBTQ+ community and other historically oppressed groups, ensuring that all individuals feel respected, valued, and empowered to thrive.

At M. Luna Consulting, we are committed to advancing racial justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion through our leadership coaching, community organizing trainings, and mental health-informed facilitation. Our work is deeply rooted in supporting communities—particularly those historically marginalized—by equipping leaders, educators, and organizers with the skills to create systemic change.

We take an intentional approach to DEI by:
1. Centering Community Voices – We ensure that our coaching and training sessions uplift the perspectives of BIPOC individuals, particularly in public education, leadership development, and advocacy spaces.
Providing Culturally Responsive Training – Our workshops and coaching frameworks incorporate practices that acknowledge the lived experiences of diverse communities, ensuring equitable access to leadership development.
2. Building Inclusive Spaces – We design our programs to be welcoming and psychologically safe for all participants, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds.
3. Holding Institutions Accountable – In our work with schools, community organizers, and nonprofits, we emphasize the importance of systemic change that closes opportunity gaps for Latino students and other marginalized communities.
