We can achieve together.
Why en masse
en masse /än `mas/ adverb
in a group; all together
The concept of equality is easy to understand—equal status, rights, and opportunities for all people—but the pursuit of equality is one of the most formidable challenges facing humanity today.
The pursuit of equality is an endeavor; one that strives to ensure that all people have equitable access and equal opportunity to achieve, to advance, and to thrive.
Our mission is to show every member of your organization how to pursue equality together.
Our vision is simple: a world in which all people are equal.

About the Founder
Albert E. Smith Jr., Founder/Principal Consultant at en masse, delivers more than 15 years of expertise in leading global diversity and inclusion efforts and human resources transformations for multinational organizations, nonprofits, and governments.
A collaborative, strategic, and results-oriented leader, Smith is an organizational learning and development practitioner, global diversity and inclusion strategist, movement intellectual, and keynote presenter and facilitator.
His professional services and practice specialties have helped organizations including American Airlines, Bose, Target, Live Nation, Pew Research Center, Toyota, Silicon Valley Bank, Morgan Stanley, EMD Serono, QVC, Oracle, PVH, Pen America, U.S. Capitol Architect, FCB Global, Pegasystems, Saatchi Wellness, Publicis, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services engage more than 1 million employees in diversity and inclusion efforts.

Trained in black cultural studies, queer theory, religious studies, ethics, and critical race studies, Smith has studied at Oxford University, Vanderbilt University, and Fisk University.
Today, he leverages his academic and professional expertise to help for-profit leaders and the nation’s leading voices in activism transform equity commitments into results for executives, employees, and citizens across the world.
A fierce and unapologetic advocate for those "behind glass walls," Smith’s experience has included leading diversity and inclusion efforts for billion-dollar organizations, developing agency-wide strategy for federal entities like the National Institute of Health, and delivering facilitating keynotes and trainings for the National Parent Teacher Association and the Royal Bank of Canada.
A road warrior, art collector, style aficionado, master storyteller, and by some accounts, an "angelic troublemaker," Smith has a natural knack for words and a mastery for understanding what big audacious ideas will help organizations win the future.
