Meet Kira Troilo (she/her)

Kira is a Boston-based creative, the CEO and founder of Art & Soul Consulting, and the creator and founder of Inclusive Stages®. Her groundbreaking EDI work with SpeakEasy Stage has earned a national spotlight in American Theatre magazine and underscores her significant role in shaping inclusive theatre practices.

At the core of Kira's philosophy is creating an "environment of grace" - a culture where team members can bring their full, multifaceted selves to work without apology. It's a powerful reframing of what "professional" can look like in today's modern workforce. And for other mothers looking to start their entrepreneurial journeys, Kira's advice is empowering: start small by dedicating just an hour a week, let your ideas percolate, and grow from there. There is no need to adhere to the unsustainable narrative of doing it alone.

Kira's story boldly calls us to reimagine our definitions of success. It reminds us that our most profound personal growth often arises from our greatest challenges. It's proof that the path of entrepreneurship and motherhood when intentionally interwoven, can lead to indescribably rich lives and businesses that leave a profound legacy. We could all use more trailblazers like Kirra showing us the way.
