Dr. A.C. Fowlkes is not just a diversity and inclusion expert, he’s a trailblazer. As a transgender man and clinical psychologist, he brings a unique blend of lived experience and professional expertise to his work as CEO of Fowlkes Consulting, a leading LGBTQ+ sensitivity and transgender inclusion firm. His passion is infectious. Dr. Fowlkes has spent over a decade working across diverse sectors, from high-pressure finance to the complex world of prisons and psychiatric hospitals. He has helped countless individuals and organizations create more inclusive and equitable environments, all while shattering glass ceilings himself.
His voice is powerful. As a Forbes Contributor and member of the Trevor Project board, Dr. Fowlkes uses his platform to educate and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community. His book, “Transgender Inclusion: All the Things You Want To Ask Your Transgender Coworker But Shouldn’t,” offers insightful guidance and dispels harmful misconceptions.
But Dr. Fowlkes is more than just an advocate, he’s a healer. His clinical background informs his leadership, allowing him to empower and grow individuals both within his consulting firm and in his role as hospital administrator. As the first out Black transgender man to lead a psychiatric facility in the US, he sets a powerful example of resilience and achievement. Dr. A.C. Fowlkes is not just a name, he’s a force for positive change. His story is one of overcoming adversity, breaking barriers, and using his expertise to make the world a more inclusive and accepting place. He is a true inspiration, both as a leader and as a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
