By Any Means Consulting
Tools to Read. Power to Lead. Freedom to Reimagine.
Who We Are
At By Any Means Consulting, we see our work as a living tree:
its roots are Liberation for all, and from that foundation grow three strong leaves—Literacy, Leadership, and Legacy.
This tree grows toward a shared vision: equitable, sustainable change that reaches every learner and leader.
-
-
Literacy – the first leaf: We believe that reading, writing, and critical thinking are the tools every child and community need to imagine and shape their future.
-
Leadership – the second leaf: We develop leaders who guide with clarity, courage, and care, building systems that support both people and progress.
-
Liberation – the roots: Our work is grounded in dismantling barriers that limit opportunity and in creating thriving, just communities. Liberation nourishes everything we do.

About Me
I’m Antoinette Kane - educator, school founder, and strategist behind By Any Means Consulting.
Growing up, it was my own education and confidence as a reader that helped me break statistics and gave me the tools to reimagine what our world could look like.
I began my career teaching elementary students in Brooklyn and later became the founding Head of School for Little Water Preparatory Charter School in Poughkeepsie, where our students outperformed the New York State average in ELA and scored three times higher than the local district.
​
Those experiences taught me that literacy opens doors, leadership sustains progress, and real change takes root in collective liberation.
I launched By Any Means Consulting to help leaders and communities build the tools, systems, and confidence they need to create thriving, equitable futures—by any means necessary.
