A next-generation speakers bureau,
We're a speakers bureau that is led by the diversity too often side-tabbed and check-boxed.
We're leveraging anti-racism and decolonization to foster healthier ways to learn and work together. These efforts extend to our active supports for clients and speakers to respectfully engage in their relationships.

2020
We Founded
Larissa Crawford incorporated Future Ancestors Services Inc. on January 31 using personal savings, and creates the initial organization structure and vision. She builds the founding team, beginning with Samantha Matters and Chúk Odenigbo.
2021
We Grew
We break 200 clients after our first year of operations! With racial and environmental justice bubbling into mainstream social consciousness, our demand continues to grow.
2022 - 2023
We Survived
We continue to grow our client base and services, and our team focuses on internal restorative and relationship-building and restructuring.
2024
We Pivoted
Our organization, formerly a sub-contractor consulting firm, faced limitations in accommodating our volume of client requests, resulting in declining about one-third of them. To address failures we identified in our business structure, management, and Contractor supports, we've transitioned to a speakers bureau model.

The work Crawford is doing will only continue to become more and more important in the next 20 years, with climate change having an impact on people globally, but especially on vulnerable and impoverished populations."
