Because Checking A Box Has Never Changed A Culture.
​
You’re not here for another training. You’re here for transformation.
I’m Leah M. Forney aka The Culture Doctor, and I help organizations and institutions stop performing equity and start practicing it.
​
If you’re ready to build survivor-centered, culturally responsive systems that don’t just look good on paper but actually change how people feel, heal, and lead, You’re in the right place.
Awareness: Read with Leah
Transformation starts with truth.
​
In just 90 days, What Works for Susan Won’t Work for Tameka sold over 100 copies and not because it’s trendy, but because it’s transformative.
This isn’t just a bestselling book. It’s a catalyst that’s helping organizations and institutions shift the way they talk about, teach, and respond to sexual violence.
​
Through real stories and culturally responsive insights, it’s challenging the status quo and changing how leaders build safer, more inclusive spaces for BIPOC survivors and communities.
Access: Learn From Leah
Education Built to Disrupt, not Just Inform.
​
Coming in January 2026, The C.U.L.T.U.R.E Academy will redefine how we educate, train, and empower those on the frontlines of sexual violence prevention and response.
​
C.U.L.T.U.R.E stands for Championing Unity, Learning, and Transformation through Understanding, Responsiveness, and Equity and that’s exactly what this academy delivers.
​
More than a learning hub, it’s where professionals move beyond awareness to action through immersive, self-paced digital courses and equity-centered toolkits.
From single-use access to full organizational licensing, this is education designed for impact, not checklists.
Alliance: Partner With Leah
Real Transformation Requires Alignment, Accountability, and Action.
When organizations are ready to move from awareness to implementation, that’s where I come in.
​
As The Culture Doctor, I partner with teams to uncover what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to shift so your mission and your methods finally align.
​
Through Culture Revamp + Development, we take a deep dive into the heart of your organization assessing leadership, workplace culture, and the impact those internal dynamics have on your ability to serve survivors and communities with excellence.
​
And through Strategic Communications, we strengthen your external voice helping you refine visibility, messaging, storytelling, and campaign strategy so your impact is seen, felt, and remembered.
​
These aren’t surface-level consulting projects. They’re six- and nine-month partnerships rooted in equity, strategy, and transformation.
