Hello and thank you for taking the time to read a little about me! I am so glad to e-meet you!
With over a decade in diverse leadership roles in the non-profit sector, I understand the importance of high-quality, evidence-based, engaging, and impactful services, programs, and education. I have had the privilege of collaborating with different organizations, sectors and partners across Turtle Island. I am currently the Director of Learning at the Centre for Diversity and Inclusion, and most recently, I accepted the first-ever historic role of Executive Director for the Ontario Coalition of Rape Crisis Centres, which I am deeply grateful and privileged to hold. Currently, I work with organizations as a strategic and governance consultant and gender-based violence specialist, and I serve as a director for wonderful organizations and teams!
From 2016-2023, I founded and co-led a non-profit called The Dandelion Initiative , funded by generous individuals and various government and NGO funders, that provided wraparound services to survivors of gender-based violence and prepared workplaces to prevent and respond to gender-based violence. This heart work created lasting change and shifted policy in Toronto. Over the last 12 years, I have worked with organizations, businesses, governments, workplaces, unions, educational and health institutions, and the hospitality and arts sectors.
I hope to continue working with diverse organizations and partners, and would love to book a meet and greet with you! Please reach out and thank you for stopping by!
Hello! My name is Viktoria Belle (she/they), I am a Queer Hungarian-Romani immigrant, and I live on the stolen and traditional lands of the Chippewas with my spouse and our animals. As an immigrant and settler, I am committed to continuing to build and sustain good relations with Indigenous peoples and communities through active practices that prioritize and empower Indigenous safety, sovereignty and voice.
All of my services are free to Indigenous grassroots or community organizations.
The intersections between heteronormativity, colonialism, abelism, racism and gendered violence cannot be separated or ignored. Learning to name gendered violence and uproot it creates cultures of safety and dignity for everyone. These are the spaces we all deserve.
