Our Team

Our Approach

The “fire” that lights the “soul” of Solfire consulting was fueled early on by experiences and observations of oppression that confused, infuriated and caused harm to many communities.  The early activism of the 1960s lives on in our organization, and those of us with unearned societal privilege see it as our responsibility  to use our voices and power to shift the dynamics in organizations and society.

For Placida, the founder of Solfire, growing up in a steel mill town as a middle sibling of ten raised in catholic schools and being in the 

first generation to go to college, she often questioned the status quo and refused to settle for easy answers to complex challenges.  ​

Her experiences with racism, sexism, classism, and colorism came early and fueled her commitment to address these larger forces of injustice in service of creating better social worlds for all.​
