mission
Tulsi Strategies designs relational capacity for systems change — helping changemakers work honestly with conflict, power, and accountability.
We support justice-rooted leaders and institutions navigating moments where technical solutions fall short, and where the real constraints are relational: misaligned power, unprocessed harm, brittle trust, and conflict that has nowhere to go.
vision
We envision a world where efforts toward equity and change do not collapse under avoidance, domination, or fragility — because the relationships inside our systems are practiced, resilient, and real.
In this future, conflict is treated as information rather than failure, accountability is a living practice rather than a performance, and care is understood as a strategic condition for durable change.
Tulsi Strategies works in service of equity, justice, and care.
We understand that conflict inside organizations does not exist apart from the larger systems shaping it — including white supremacy, patriarchy, ableism, capitalism, colonialism, and carceral power.
We do not take on work that legitimizes harm or exclusion, including efforts that deny people’s humanity, safety, or bodily autonomy. This includes work that is transphobic, racist, ableist, xenophobic, or otherwise incompatible with a commitment to equity and repair.
We prioritize partnerships with leaders and organizations willing to name power, reckon with harm, and engage accountability as a practice — not a performance.
Our role is not to make injustice more palatable. It is to help build the relational capacity required to change it.
values
body wisdom
Each body contains its own map of joy, pleasure, power, trauma, desire, resilience, and healing. At the intersection of logic and emotion, we find wisdom.
choice and invitation
Our work is grounded in agency and autonomy: people have choice over their thoughts, intentions, and behaviors. Accountability is thus a gift and invitation into deeper relationship.
humans and systems
All complex systems are enacted by humans and on humans. We nourish the people to heal the systems.
intersectional theory and praxis
Most of us live, work, make, and play at the intersections of privilege and oppression. We hold these identities and experience these systems simultaneously.
sacred work
Thought requires action; knowledge informs skills, actions, and behaviors. Numbers and stories are both data, and theory is liberatory. The work comes in the practice.
infinite stories
We embrace contradictions and hold multiple truths as true at once. Stories are changed each time we tell them, and they are no less true in their retelling.
an ethic of care
Nourishment means we hold our delight and tenderness with as much sacredness as our grief. Joy is the most vulnerable emotion, and equity work is inherently joyful work.
