What I Offer

I provide individualized training and consulting that centers social justice, human dignity, and lived experience. My approach helps individuals and organizations move beyond checkboxes and compliance to engage in authentic reflection and systemic change. I work collaboratively with clients to examine how historical and present-day systems of power have shaped barriers for marginalized communities, and how we can reimagine those systems to create environments where everyone is treated with respect, care, and humanity.

Through tailored workshops, presentations, and consultations, I help participants build awareness, develop actionable strategies, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and responsibility. My goal is to support individuals and institutions in becoming agents of change, driven by compassion, justice, and a commitment to doing better.

Experience

I am a Mexican, Jewish, Disabled Woman with more than 15 years of experience advocating with and for the disability community. For nearly a decade, I’ve focused on the complexities of intersectionality, the ways our overlapping identities shape how we experience the world, especially in relation to disability.

My work explores the intersections of disability with race, religion, gender, sexuality, class, and beyond. As someone who navigates life with multiple marginalized identities, I understand how exhausting and isolating it can be to exist in spaces that weren’t built for you. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help others build spaces rooted in fairness, empathy, and accountability.

If your organization has particular goals or is looking for a fresh perspective, I’m happy to collaborate on a custom training or presentation that speaks to your community’s unique needs.

Lisa Gloss, PhD, Graduate School Dean, Washington State University

I have worked with Davi on Disability Rights issues for years and impressed with her knowledge, passion, and professionalism. She uses her own experience as a marginalized woman with a disability as the as the foundation to fully examine the systems that inhibit full access and inclusion to services for marginalized people with disabilities. Her lived experience combined with her formal education allow her to provide a wealth of knowledge and fresh perspectives to improve systems and create spaces that are more accessible and welcoming for all.

Stephanie Woodward, JD Executive Director, Disability EmpowHER Network

Dr. Kallman has a wealth of knowledge but is very good at making topics relatable and approachable for learners at all levels of experience.  She effectively lays out foundational concepts and knowledge while being able to give in depth and detailed responses to questions from more advanced students.

Luis Manriquez, MD Community Health Equity Director, Washington State University

Davi’s heart and passion goes into her work. She does everything 110% with empathy and exemplary leadership skills. I am privileged to see what one woman can accomplish. She removed bias and changed the hearts and attitudes of our campus through her awareness events and training.
