/ OUR MISSION
Orange Tangent Study (OTS) was founded in 2020 by Kameelah Janan Rasheed as part of KJR Studios.
OTS is a boutique consulting firm supporting cultural producers to design materials, experiences, and systems for expansive learning opportunities.
We uphold our mission through a range of coaching, resource library, facilitation, and design offerings. We support our clients through long-term coaching, short-term intensives, learning design (curriculum, syllabi), our resource library, and seasonal workshops.

/ OUR APPROACH
In 2020 when OTS first launched, Sydnie L. Mosley, the Artistic Director of Sydnie L. Mosley Dances left the following Instagram comment.
Three years later, OTS is excited to finally adopt this beautiful doula language.
We use the language of doula work to describe what we do: providing continuous care and support before, during, and shortly after birth.
In this case, birth refers to the ideas, movements, and projects you are trying to bring into the world. They are life, not static. These ideas are dynamic, living creatures interacting with the world and we should honor them as such.
Our before birth (incubation) work:
brainstorming + visioning; resource mapping; capacity audits; project mapping; “nutrition monitoring”; dream + sensory work
Our during birth (revelation) work:
project launch; project management; “checking vital signs”; impact analysis
Our after birth (sustainability) work:
refinement of systems; collecting and mobilizing material+immaterial evidence; strengthening relationships within and beyond your community; continuous capacity audits
