I’m CV Harquail, PhD
Tool-builder, writer, scholar, speaker, activist and a cutting edge advocate of feminist business, I’m here to help you build feminist practices into your business.
I believe we need to transform business from the roots.
I believe feminism offers the sharpest tool AND most visionary framework for fixing business’s biggest problems, and transforming it into a paradigm of collective flourishing.
And I believe business is one of the greatest opportunities we have to grow, share and redistribute power and resources according to our feminist values.
I Advocate Collective, Inclusive, Transformational
Feminism
This perspective on feminisms draws from the wisdom of all streams of feminism that:
I define feminism as a movement for all people to:
*racism, settler colonialism heterosexism, classism, speciesism, capitalism, ageism, imperialism, ativism, ableism, fatism, and all oppressions

Territory Acknowledgement
I acknowledge that I live and work on the current and ancestral homelands and waters of The Council of Three Fires: The Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomie nations, as well as the Menominee, Miami and Ho-Chunk nations. These lands and waters were and remain sites of home, trade, travel, gathering, and healing for members of more than a dozen Native tribes.
In support of Native sovereignty and decolonization, I use my own work to co-create a world where the politics of domination, such as those maintained by settler colonialism, White supremacy, and all systems of oppression, are no longer normal or possible.
