Visual Equity Lab: Reframing Workplace Narratives and Visuals
A research-to-action initiative transforming workplace narratives and visuals so employees, especially those representative of women of color, are accurately represented, recognized, and able to advance.
The Visual Equity Lab addresses a hidden driver of workplace inequity: the visual and narrative signals that shape who is seen as competent and promotable. Led by Ensemble Washington with TONL as a core partner, the Lab combines national research, culturally accurate visual storytelling, and employer-ready tools to shift biased narratives embedded in workplace communications. The result is a scalable, evidence-backed approach that improves belonging, visibility, and advancement for women of color while strengthening workplaces.
