Lived experience, professional practice
StrongWheeld Consulting was founded to champion inclusion, empathy and informed advocacy in every facet of society.
The practice
StrongWheeld Consulting
Turning accessibility and inclusion from a slide in a deck into a system people actually live inside.
Led by Malakai Strong, the practice is passionate about dismantling barriers, educating stakeholders and empowering communities facing challenges related to mental health, disability and LGBTQIA+ identities. The approach blends lived experience, research-backed strategies and collaborative problem-solving to help individuals and organizations create lasting, positive change.
Clients are campuses, nonprofits, healthcare teams, conferences and companies who want inclusion done properly rather than loudly — and who want guidance their team can act on the same week.
