The future of work is liberation.
Career Love is a social impact platform helping organizations attract, retain, and develop diverse talent by cultivating liberatory leadership practices and cultures.
Be first to hear when the platform opens. No spam — a warm hello only.
Three pillars for building liberatory workplaces.
We create the conditions for people to thrive at work — not tomorrow, not when it's convenient, but now.
Education
Trainings, workshops, and learning tracks that teach teams and leaders how liberatory practice actually shows up in the day-to-day.
Advocacy
We advocate — publicly and inside organizations — for the policies, systems, and cultures that let marginalized professionals lead full lives.
Innovation
A software platform that helps organizations operationalize liberatory practice: not a checklist, a way of working.
Organizations that want to attract, retain, and develop diverse talent.
HR leaders, people managers, executives, and DEI practitioners partnering with us to cultivate liberatory leadership practices — and to find, and build, the workplaces that reflect them.
- · People teams designing more equitable systems
- · Executives operationalizing values into practice
- · Employees searching for workplaces that live liberation
“Liberation isn't a program you launch. It's the culture you build, one practice at a time.”
Centering Black women and marginalized professionals — on the path to collective liberation.
Career Love is a social impact organization founded by Mercedes Swan. We center the experiences of Black women and marginalized professionals because the conditions that free them free everyone.
We believe careers can be sites of dignity, creativity, and repair — and we're building the tools, education, and community to make that ordinary.
Launched in 2026. The Career Love Mission in action.
In 2026, Mercedes launched the Workplace Liberation Project with one goal: to advocate for, normalize, and operationalize liberatory practices in the workplace. Research, storytelling, policy work, and the platform we're building all sit under this umbrella.
Public campaigns, essays, and conversations that name what's wrong — and what's possible.
Everyday language, rituals, and standards that make liberatory practice legible in any org.
Software, curriculum, and consulting that turn values into repeatable practice.
