Welcome ToTeam Trudi
Meet Our Team
Can I just brag about my team for a second? Because they are just amazing.
Seriously, I have always prided myself on knowing how to identify good team members, but this group of folks right here, they blow me away all of the time.
Although there was a time where I was able to do all the things in my business including set up the sales pages, coach all the clients, plan the launches, write the emails, set up all the tech for our programs…those days are behind us. And, although I know that some folks come to us hoping to get my individual attention on all of their questions, I also know that is NOT the best way to coach.
Having a diverse, well-rounded team allows us to deliver high-quality coaching and deep insights from folks with a wide variety of specialties and brilliance.
This is a team of people I’ve hand-picked and trained on my coaching philosophies and methodology, so our clients are always getting support that is anchored in my approach and our values of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI).
It is my honor to introduce you to…

Charmagne Glass-Tripp
Charmagne has worked for over 15 years sharpening her diversity, equity, and inclusion lens working for social justice organizations like Love Makes A Family, Everyday Democracy, and now ScriptFlip!. She attends, participates in, plans, and presents trainings, workshops, webinars, collaboratives, and programs. She has worked closely with communities on various issues, showed them how systemic racism played a part in each, and informed them that, without addressing it, their solutions would be missing a very important piece.
Charmagne brings to this work emotional intelligence, patience, commitment to collaboration, and her own experience as a Black lesbian. She appreciates that we must lean in at times when it is really hard, practice radical self-care, and never give up.
Her approach has always been to find connections, humanize, and try to empathize with those struggling with their privilege–not to coddle, but to gain a deeper understanding of how to engage in ways that benefit us all. Charmagne does this work because she wants to assist in creating safe and inclusive spaces where everyone is valued, and to impact the outcomes for marginalized communities in ways that are meaningful.
Katalina Euraque

community facilitator.

Exploring her multicultural, multilingual, multiracial, and often contradictory heritage has influenced her understanding of home/identity and highlighted the importance of building community from a foundation of love, truth-telling and accountability.
She honors all the organizers, community members, truth-tellers, artists, leaders, neighbors,
ancestors that continue to teach and inform the way she centers community.
She is excited to continue to learn and root herself in community centered work that focuses on equity and creating space for people to tell their stories.
