NEW BOOK RELEASE
I'm Krystal Hardy Allen, Founder & CEO of
K. Allen Consulting, and am excited to share my first book's release with you! As a former award-winning school principal and teacher, current full-time education and management consultant, and now published author, this text has truly been a true labor of love.
As a native of historic Selma, Alabama, I grew up in a space where discourse about social justice advocacy and activism was as normal for me as learning how to read a map.
In a sea of diversity, equity, and inclusion dialogue, this book bridges the gap between theory and action between the "what" and "how" of understanding, embracing, and applying DEI. Within this text, I share not only my subject matter expertise, but lived experiences from my own journey as a first generation college graduate, a Black female educator, an educational leader in general, a charter school board member, an education consultant, an education advocate and philanthropist, and also a governing member of various education nonprofit boards.
Whether you are a parent, a school principal, a teacher, a middle leader within an education non-profit, a school board member, or any stakeholder invested in improving the state of education, this book is for you.

What Goes Unspoken

Instead of investing thousands of dollars in trainings and initiatives that are often piecemeal, abstract, or at times ineffective, it's essential that leaders learn practical steps to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion at the district, school, and classroom levels.
Drawing on my own school leadership and educational consultant experience,
I teach you how to:

In the current cultural and sociopolitical climate,
What Goes Unspoken is a must-read for leaders and administrators of public and private schools, as well as district personnel and educational leadership training programs.

Krystal Allen brings an understanding and deep love for humanity-with its flaw and messiness-to every moment of this work. With her unique ability to connect with people, Krystal opens eyes, challenges mindsets, and awakens new ways of thinking in everyone she teaches. I have no doubt that her diversity, equity, and inclusion work with our schools has helped us better deliver on our promises to children. I am also personally eternally grateful to Krystal for the lessons she continues to teach me.
