ABOUT DR. ROXANNE J. KYMAANI
Roxanne J. Kymaani, Ph.D. is a Life Transformation Strategist and Owner of Kymaani Catalyst Consulting, a self-owned coaching and consulting business dedicated to helping individuals, communities, and organizations create a more just and equitable society. Roxanne offers inclusive practice frameworks that bridge communities across racial, economic, religious, and cultural divides. She engages her clients in diversity, equity, and inclusion work using an identity construction lens that allows people to connect to who they are and how they show up in the world, as the entry point for understanding the external systems in their community that create the internal realities that many people experience daily.
Roxanne’s passion is to support others in constructing their authentic self and creating an understanding of who they are "being" as a way of developing a new relationship with themselves that offers a fresh dialogue for how to view and experience the world. Using this as her foundation, she supports individuals and organizations to create an environment where we are free from fear and can develop, explore, and express our true capabilities.
In addition to her consulting, Roxanne is a Senior Equity Leadership Consultant for the National Equity Project, a leadership and systems change organization committed to increasing the capacity of people to achieve thriving, self-determining, educated, and just communities. She received a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Leadership Studies with an emphasis in Human Development from the University of San Diego. She is a certified Life/Executive Coach through Accomplishment Coaching. Additionally, Roxanne serves as the board co-chair for the San Diego Food Systems Alliance.
Roxanne’s specialties include dialogue, liminality, identity construction, diversity, equity and inclusion, community development, group dynamics, leadership development, systems thinking, and cultural competency.
