Founded by Shaunda Lewis in December of 2020, Stone and Grace LLC is a social construction firm focused on the ways in which we individually and collectively operate. We do this through decolonization. Decolonization is the breaking down of antiquated systems, structures, and ways of thinking and acting that are rooted in colonization, in order to reconstruct: build back better, anew and create spaces and places that work for us all. Our work includes:

​

• Building social awareness through opportunities to learn history, build decolonization skills, and cultivate healthy community;

• Building self awareness by helping individuals to raise their personal consciousness, understand their true selves, and be responsibly unapologetic in living authentically with fidelity.

• Incubating creations (companies and organizations) into 5D - companies and organizations that are led and driven by love; and

• Building a community of Decolonizers equipped with the skillset and knowledge to support human ascension.

 

The vision of Stone and Grace is a world led with love. For too long the world has been a place that is fear driven. Our goal is to decolonize humanity - from being conditioned through fear and white supremacy (colonization). Colonization in this modern era refers to the last 580 years of Western European colonization, imperialism, and US globalization, rooted in the belief that those descended from Western Europe or appearing to descend from Western Europe to be superior. All are expected to adjust their way of being and interacting in the world to be in tune with the value of and preference for "whiteness." Our work tackles this and more, because we know and understand fear to be the basis of the oppression of us all.  The task of deconditioning and decolonizing humanity is a massive endeavor, rooted in centuries, if not millennia of conditioning, colonization, context, and history. Human beings have spent the majority of the past accumulating traumas and fears, and passing down those traumas and fears through intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, familial, institutional, and structural violence and oppression – to the point where ancestral fear and trauma is embedded in our DNA.  

Because of how large the problem is, our focus is on those people and institutions that are already deeply involved in diversity, equity, inclusion, and/or anti-racism work, and are looking to embed a decolonization mindset and strategy into the work that they already do – both personally and professionally. Our goal is to build leaders in the decolonization space, and support people in understanding and identifying colonization, in order to actively decolonize themselves and the communities in which they work and live. We equip people with the pedagogy, knowledge, skillset, and courage to decolonize any space in which they occupy and person they encounter; including themselves. 

Having partnered with over 40 companies/organizations to date, directly impacting 3,000 people globally, our strategy is to exponentially increase those numbers with every engagement we commit to and interaction we make. The world has waited long enough for a brighter age, and the only thing standing in the way of our collective illumination is the lack of our elevated consciousness. Our strategy supports the transition of humanity from being driven by fear, to being led by love.

We understand that true elevation requires traversing the depths of our existence, and removing that which obstructs our light – with the truth that is stone, and the unconditional love that is grace. We are here to guide you through the journey to access and sustain your light (freedom) and reach true elevation, because we believe that the time has come to decolonize the world.
