Leadership unveiled

Meet Jonah, the human behind Nthusa — a dynamic professional seamlessly blending nearly a decade of corporate expertise with a genuine commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Jonah is a Certified Human Resources Professional and boasts a rich educational repertoire, including certificates in DEI, as well as Human Resources Management.

With a guiding philosophy centred on the belief that a simple shift in perspective can unlock tremendous potential, Jonah employs a collaborative coaching approach driven by keen intuition.

Jonah's passion unfolds in encouraging people to lead consciously, inclusively, and intentionally—ultimately fostering a positive impact within their organizations.

His personal purpose statement encapsulates it all: "I aspire to inspire," a mantra echoed not just through words but predominantly through Jonah's impactful actions.

“In the early chapters of my career, the corporate landscape seemed like an impenetrable maze, and I almost threw in the towel. Walking away seemed like the easy way out, but something inside me refused to become just another statistic. [...] Every day became a canvas where I painted a picture of a better work experience, one intentional choice at a time. Little did I know in those moments, I was crafting a teachable strategy, a roadmap or blueprint to inspire others to embrace change and discover their resilience.”

What people are saying

“Jonah is a thoughtful DEI strategist who inspires individuals of all backgrounds. As a certified DEI facilitator, Jonah helps others to reflect deeply on matters related to bias, anti-racism, accessibility, privilege and more. Jonah is long-time member and guest speaker at Black HR Professionals of Canada. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to learn and co-lead DEI sessions with him as a Change Maker.”

Founder, Black HR Professionals of Canada

"Jonah broke down a huge amount of content to make it fresh, interesting, accessible, and digestible. Plus, he incorporated jokes and personality to help people relate to the content and keep them engaged. The separate sections in his material made it less cumbersome and less overwhelming, especially as he effectively targeted the workshop to our audience who did not have much DEI knowledge. Ituseful to know that you can count on someone who doesn’t just meet the standard but exceeds It every time."

— Vanessa Thomas

Program Coordinator, ICTC

"Jonah delivered an engaging presentation to his audience at the Inaugural SURGE Conference of the Halifax Chamber of Commerce about the loss of voices of racialized people, who are currently ignored and how wider society suffers by this intentional act. The words used by Jonah were not ‘sound-bites’ pieced together to gain an instant response from the audience but contained lived experience quietly screaming for attention, which was so painfully evident."

— Professor David Divine

Senior Consultant

"I worked with Jonah on a program for a non-profit organization. He was one of our guest speakers for the program and his sessions were very informative and interactive. [...] He is very informed and a key point of reference when it comes to DEI. I would recommend him to anyone interested in working with someone in the DEI space. I look forward to working with him again."

— Kimberly Clarke

Communications Specialist

"I met Jonah when I was taking George Brown College's DEI in the Workplace Program and he was the Teaching Assistant for two of my courses. [...] Since then we have stayed in touch and he has helped a number of my newcomer mentees by sharing his own lived experiences moving to and adapting to Canadian life. Anyone who works with Jonah will quickly learn he is passionate about helping people especially organizations with their DEI journey."
