Sade is a Disrupter, a Dreamer and a Doer who believes that power can and should be dismantled with kindness and compassion.

She creates opportunities that support people to know better, so they can do better. Sade is guided by an abundant imagination that understands there is never one way of doing things, that there are always more questions than answers, and that failure comes with the gift of starting again.

Sade works collaboratively to create safe spaces for herself and others to grow, evolve and unlearn. She moves with tenacity and care. With radical generosity at the heart of her practice, she advocates fiercely for the safety of Black and Global Majority folx.

At The What If Experiment, Sade listens deeply to understand where harm is being caused, what needs to change, and creates strategies that build cultures of belonging.

Jane is a deep listener, avid collaborator and sober optimist. She is dedicated to co-learning, repair and equity to release each other in becoming our most capable, visionary, thriving, communitarian selves. As a facilitator, she is committed to holding brave conversations that address, delegitimise and undo whiteness, racism and other oppressions, and support those harmed by them. As a white middle-class cis woman, she practices redistributive justice and is constantly evolving understanding of this.
Jane’s background is in artistic and learning methodologies. These underpin her ongoing training in non-violent communication and conflict transformation. Jane offers long experience of intergenerational working, in cultural activist projects and arts organisations led by people younger than her, in settings where colleagues who are Black and of the global majority are the founders and leaders, and in processes of collective problem-solving and creative visioning.

Alex is a passionate and persistent doer, collaborator, and strategist. Fuelled by the potency and potential of collective liberation, they are driven to disrupt and rebuild systems in service of our shared liberation. Alex approaches the work of building an antiracist future as both a human challenge and an infrastructural one. Their particular focus is on the organisational, institutional, and economic forces which reproduce inequity. Calling on diverse experience from across disciplines and sectors, they deploy the lens of their mixed heritage and white passing to scrutinise — and, ultimately, to help reimagine — the hidden structures of oppression.

In their work with What If, Alex holds the process of auditing organisational policies and procedures, working collaboratively with the team to imagine and create institutional alternatives.
