Founders Rachael Feldman and Ania Upstill started GenderWise as what was meant to be a one-time workshop for their grad school cohort. After finding themselves in the position of the “token queers” of the department and a little exhausted with answering the same well-meaning but draining questions over and over, they decided to clear everything up that they have been asked and then some, and from there, GenderWise was born!

Since debuting GenderWise (or then, “unnamed gender diversity workshop”), we have grown into a company who aims to support not only other educators, but employers, caregivers, and theatre makers as well.
