The resurgence of the Black Lives Matter Movement in 2020 sparked a significant shift in organisational readiness to start the conversation on ‘race’, which was the tipping point for the normalisation of anti-racism training and consulting in Australia. But that’s not where we began.
Kind Enterprises was founded in 2018 after CEO and founder, Erfan Daliri had already worked for 20 years in a range of relevant fields including cross-cultural communication, multicultural affairs, youth engagement and social change advocacy. Erfan embarked on a year of international volunteer service in 2001, and completed his first national speaking tour in December 2002. After 5 years of Infomechatronic Engineering at QUT while still working in community development, Erfan eventually completed his Masters in Communication for Social Change at the University of Queensland.
Building on the legacy of his late father Dr Farvardin Daliri OAM’s decades of community development work, advocacy for First Nations rights, education and delivery of projects for social cohesion and unity in diversity since the 1970s, whom he worked alongside from his teenage years.
The nation’s recent transition from talking about “cultural competence” to “racial literacy” has been a long overdue and welcome change, albeit heartbreakingly late, which nevertheless has finally moved the dial away from tokenistic diversity and “multiculturalism” and closer towards establishing racial justice, equity and genuine social cohesion.
Over the last two decades Erfan and Farvardin worked together, designing and delivering training programs for hundreds of organisations, including government departments, local councils, not-for-profit organisations and charities, schools and multinational corporations, universities and peak bodies, across the country and internationally.
Now with our team of academically qualified educators with professional expertise, lived experience expertise, decades long history of leading the public discourse on social cohesion and racial justice, combined with our customised training modules, we are proudly one of Australia’s most highly sought after and qualified team of anti-racism educators. Over the past 5 years our client list has grown exponentially and almost entirely from the demand of word of mouth referral.
This has allowed us to focus on the important work we exist for: education and capacity-building for a more unified, just and equitable society. And what’s more, with individuals and organisations who are ready and willing to embrace the work for racial equity.
And if that’s now already enough, our incomparable testimonials speak for themselves.
