address inequality.
address inequality.
But many diversity and inclusion programs will actually inject toxicity into your workplace.
Commonly used practices like unconscious bias training have proven to be ineffective and can even reinforce racial stereotypes. Traditional programs often create more division and can lead to:
- Individuals being unfairly singled out, ostracized, and humiliated.
- Scarcity mentality taking root in your company culture.
- Animosity developing among coworkers.
- Your staff feeling like you’re not doing enough to address racism.
Your team deserves a better way.
You can affect positive change in the world by creating truly inclusive spaces.
Led by the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and in pursuit of his Beloved Community, our curriculum is rooted in three guiding principles:
Treat people like human beings, not political abstractions.
Criticize to uplift and empower, never to tear down or destroy.
Root everything you do in love and compassion.
We utilize pop culture to educate.
The arts have been used in the African-American community to teach self-love, resiliency, and character development for generations. We honor and carry on that tradition. It works because we see ourselves and our potential reflected back to us…and we LOVE it.
THIS PHENOMENON
IS CALLED ENCHANTMENT.
FILM
Narratives from Disney and other cinematic storytellers are powerful metaphors for the human condition.
MUSIC
Lyrics from hip-hop and pop music evoke emotion and empathy by inspiring us to hear our own song in other’s stories.
LITERATURE
Teachings from James Baldwin, Cheryl Strayed, and John Steinbeck enrich our perspective and our understanding.
Much Gratitude and Great Work!
The readings, questions, and discussion were shifted from looking outward (as we often do) to focusing inward. Our discussion opened a new door, another perspective to life.

The principles in this course are exactly what Americans need right now.
“During the turbulent summer of 2020, the Theory of Enchantment course was the one thing that kept me from sliding into hatred and fear of others. The principles in this course are exactly what Americans need right now. They teach us how to build connections, communicate across divides, and work toward our goals in a spirit of love.”

Meet Theory of
Enchantment Founder
Chloé
Valdary.
Hi, I’m Chloé.
I am an entrepreneur who’s passionate about love.
I developed the Theory of Enchantment as a framework for compassionate antiracism that combines social-emotional learning (SEL), character development, and interpersonal growth as tools for leadership development in the boardroom and beyond.
LOVE
is the answer.
Bring Chloé Valdary to your event, publication, or podcast to discover antiracism through the lens of love.
I am a former police officer (current federal agent), and I only wish I knew your Theory of Enchantment when I worked as a patrol officer. I intend to fully incorporate the principles embodied in the theory into my own personal and professional life and would like to spread your message of love.
