- Origin Story
A journey of continuous transformation
2011
The Bellatrix Group
Aurora Archer formed Bellatrix Group with Pamela Raitt to bring their vision, passion, and values to the healthcare, advertising, and tech industries, and to help navigate much-needed strategic marketing disruption in a way that created better outcomes for all. Both founders came from a design-thinking and technology background and they bonded over their belief in the methodologies to drive greater cultural inclusion and representation in the work.
2011
The Opt-In Podcast
The Opt-In podcast was born in 2019 out of a strained, interracial friendship between Aurora Archer, an Afro-Latina woman and Kelly Croce Sorg, a white woman. It started small: one woman of color asked her “woke” white friend to open her eyes to the realities of the delusion of white supremacy. This ask was the beginning of an ongoing journey of healing and transformation, a journey grounded in trust, dialogue, and continuous (un)learning.
2011
The Opt-In Learning Program
The Opt-In Learning Program was born out of the imperative to reimagine an innovative, holistic, and measurable learning experience to foster a truly inclusive and equitable workplace. The goal - to change the lagging progress of DEI efforts and create meaningful and positive change for all identities.
2011

What our clients say
Lauren Villanueva
Assistant Vice President, Alumni Relations
Drexel University
Opened up a space for dialogue within our Board on the topics of race, ethnicity, and cultural competence. I think the headwind/tailwind exercise framed the concept of privilege and how we can use it to work toward equitable organizations in a way that was easy for people to wrap their heads around and link back to their personal stories.
