Essentials by Enharmonic Encounters
Essentials by Enharmonic Encounters is more than a blog—it’s a resource for businesses committed to equity, sustainability, and purposeful impact. Through articles on B Certification, storytelling, and culturally responsive translation and interpreting, we share insights and strategies to help companies and organizations align their values with their business success.
Our Partners on our Interpreting Services: Mídia Quilombola
Without awareness of the history and environmental acumen of Quilombola communities, the world is missing out on a crucial element that could make an effective contribution in mitigating environmental crises and lead the way to ensure our planet and future generations thrive. We amplified these voices through our interpreting services.
Our Partners on our Translation Services: Sistema B Brasil
Powerful stories emerge from every region of the global ecosystem of Certified B Corporations. But too often, language barriers prevent them from generating maximum impact across different stakeholder geographies. Having identified an opening, we took a proactive approach by amplifying voices that otherwise might have gone unheard.
Our Partners on their B Certification Journey: Ceres Market
For small businesses, B Certification can feel like an overwhelming endeavor, especially for solopreneurs balancing other professional commitments. That was the case for Ceres Market, a circular-economy retailer in the Level program, where Enharmonic Encounters serves as one of the resident consultancies.
Wildlife Rangers: Protecting our natural future
When we protect wildlife rangers, we protect nature and the future of our living planet. It’s that simple. In reiterating Dr. Jane Goodall’s message, we invite you to join us in standing with wildlife rangers on the frontline of conservation by giving to Thin Green Line today.
Our Partners on their B Certification Journey: Restaurant Beatrice
Restaurant Beatrice has always been about more than just food. It’s a beacon of opportunity for underrecognized voices in the restaurant industry. When they set out to formalize these values by obtaining B Certification, they found themselves facing unexpected challenges. Together, we developed a strategic roadmap.
Water, Race, and Gender: A correlation of inequalities
It is unacceptable that race and gender should determine who suffers most from the lack of universal access to a fundamental human right—one essential to life itself. We must pave the way for Black women to participate in discussions on water access, and everyone has a role to play in these initiatives.
Climate (In)Justice: Who does it serve?
At its core, climate justice is a human rights issue. Without equity and inclusion, without the voices, experience, and leadership of Black women, there can be no true climate justice in Brazil.
Mapping the Journey: Greatest hits of 2024
2024 has been replete with significant victories, both for me and for Enharmonic Encounters. So, after all we’ve been through, allow me the indulgence of reflecting on our five greatest hits of this year.
Black Peoples in the Amazon: An invisible history
Defending the Amazon cannot be confined to environmental issues or to the purview of a single social group. In each rural, urban, riverine, Black, and Quilombola community, there are living memories that may forgive but do not forget the dark days of enslavement.
Being 1% Better: Synergies from Global Summit
More than a month removed from Global Summit, the resonance of its inspirational overtones remains as undeniable as the sight of Balboa Park’s California Dome. What’s certain is that the atmosphere of this gathering is like few others I’ve seen.
Business in the Balance: Building a more sustainable future
Many companies are wondering how to build a sustainable and prosperous future. Certified B Corporations are leading the way by embarking on a journey to continuously improve their social and environmental performance for economic inclusion and equity.
The Paucity of Black Leaders in the Brazilian Job Market
We must commit to driving transformation that leads to the development of robust, inclusive policies for the advancement of Black professionals in their careers. The first step in this endeavor is taking a deep dive into racism and diversity in Brazil.
