Creating a Culture of Empowerment

are core to our mission and to who we are as a nonprofit organization. To address the challenges of a complex and increasingly diverse world, we must make sure every person has a voice and a seat at the table.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)

While we strive to build a future grounded in inclusivity, we know tackling the misconceptions around lactose intolerance across the nation begins at home.

Our commitment extends beyond merely assembling a diverse team; we are devoted to fostering an inclusive culture where every individual feels both represented and respected. In aligning our internal practices with our external mission, we strive for excellence that goes beyond productivity and aim to maximize the breadth of our impact. Lactose Liberators envisions a culture where equity and inclusion are not just principles but integral aspects of how we operate — creating a supportive space for all as we work collectively to remove stigma and empower those navigating lactose intolerance.


As Lactose Liberators, we are each dedicated to forging a dynamic community where:

  • We recognize and value unique identities and experiences.

  • Respect, empathy, and humility define our relationships.

  • Our conversations are open, honest, and authentic.

  • We continually strive to embody the principles of justice, equity, and inclusivity to reflect the society we want to see in the world.
