Dr. Kipang (she/her) founded Creative Capacity Building CCB Strategies as a labour of love. As a consultant, practitioner and adjunct professor and lecturer, Shani has spent over 20 years facilitating processes of collaborative learning. Whether working in conference rooms, classrooms or in the community, Shani's approach has been largely the same - grounded in principles of evidence-based practice, dialogic learning and creative capacity building. An approach and skills set she now brings to her work as an Education Developer at York University.  

With a background in social work, Shani brings knowledge of non-profit and public sector systems built from the ground up - informed both by her work as a frontline clinical and community practitioner and 6+ years in project and program management. She has developed courses and training materials in the areas of Diversity & Equity, Conflict Resolution and International Community Development. In her work as an educator and facilitator, Shani has pioneered new pathways for experiential learning and dialogic organizational development. Her materials on simulation-based learning, cultural humility, “experts-by-experience” and JEDI (justice, equity, diversity and inclusion) have been integrated in the curriculum of multiple universities and training programs.
