Denise! Denise! Ph.D.

Hi, I’m Denise! Denise! Ph.D., owner of The House of Denise. I first pursued a traditional academic career as a sociology and gender studies professor in (naive) hopes of engaging in radical social change in academia. Inevitably, I left my tenured faculty position a cissexist, white supremacist liberal arts college to become a more impactful (and healthier) scholar-activist. I launched my own coaching and consulting business in 2022 to pursue anti-racist trans and queer liberation work full time.

I am committed to business, pedagogical, and activist practices that are intersectional, anti-racist, feminist, pro-LGBTQIA+, body positive, anti-ableist, anti-ageist, anti-classist, anti-xenophobic, anti-caste, and environmentally-conscious:

• Advocate for sustainable transformational justice.
• Amplify the voices, ideas, creations and creative works, herstories, and needs of those harmed by multiple, intersecting systems of oppression
• Aggravate the status quo that normalizes harmful behaviors and justifies inequality
• Abolish harmful institutions and systems that profit from exploitation and oppression
• joy+justice: a radical commitment to ensuring that one does not come at the expense of the other.
