In this Year of the Fire Horse...
We wish you a year filled with passion, courage, and forward momentum
According to the Chinese Zodiac, 2026 is the Year of the Fire Horse. This is a rare occurrence that occurs only once every 60 years. The Fire Horse represents intensity, independence, and bold movement. The horse’s natural ambition, combined with the fire element’s drive and determination, signals a year of dynamic energy and meaningful change. It is a year that calls for clarity, courage, and decisive action.
At Talitha, we step into this year grounded in who we are as a firm. We aim to meet the year with passion and ambition while staying true to our unique identity and values.
In this new year, we look forward to continuing partnerships with our ongoing clients and welcoming those who have recently joined us. We are grateful to work alongside organizations that share our commitment to equity and are willing to engage in the hard but important work, even amid uncertainty.

- Meaningful community engagement
- Contextualized and asset-based solutions

Our Highlights from 2025 - Year of the Snake
Each year brings both beauty and challenge. As we reflect on 2025, the Year of the Snake, we do so with gratitude for the opportunities and accomplishments that shaped our work:
- Led statewide housing language accessibility efforts with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission.
- Strengthened community-based organizations through capacity-building partnerships across King County.
- Bridged government and culturally specific communities through targeted engagement campaigns.
- Expanded multilingual access tools and user-centered testing for renters across Washington.
- Deepened equity-centered public sector partnerships.
As we enter the Year of the Fire Horse, we embrace its spirit of determination and progress. At the same time, we move forward with intention and grace, qualities long associated with the horse.
We look forward to the work ahead and to continuing this journey together.
Your friends at Talitha Consults.
