# The Open Practice Academy - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `meganbfruia.com` - **Claimed:** yes - **Founded:** 2026 - **Employees:** 1+ - **Company kind:** SELF OWNED ## Description The Open Practice Academy began the way most of my work does: not with an answer, but with a pattern I kept noticing. I spent years inside faculty development, curriculum design, and organizational learning, and I kept watching the same thing happen. Good ideas arrived. Training got built. Systems got launched. And still, people didn't move. Not because they didn't want to. Because the conditions around them were never actually built for someone to say yes. I started asking a different question. Not why won't people change, but what would it take for change to actually be possible here. That question is what TOPA is built on. We call this human-scale design: building learning, training, and change initiatives sized to the humans inside them, not the other way around. It shows up across everything we offer, from Practice Cartography, which turns the knowledge in someone's head into something an organization can actually keep, to Custom Learning Pathways, built for education, library, and community partners doing mission-driven work on real budgets. TOPA runs on open values and care ethics, but we're not interested in critique for its own sake. We're practitioners first. Every framework we teach, we've also had to use. And every deliverable that reaches a client has been through human hands, not just AI-drafted and shipped. I'm Megan Zara, founder of The Open Practice Academy, operating as She Writes, She Reigns, LLC, based in Austin, Texas. I'm also a PhD student, which means I'm usually testing these ideas in two places at once: in my own research, and in an actual Tuesday morning with an actual client. ## Industries - 📊 Business and Consumer Services - 📊 Business and Consumer Services _(under Business and Consumer Services)_ ## Links - [linkedin](https://linkedin.com/company/the-open-practice-academy) ## Logos & icons - 2 _(primary)_ — SVG, PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idMs_b9GaC/theme/dark/logo.svg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1786987853196) - 1 _(primary)_ — SVG, PNG — [download](https://cdn.brandfetch.io/idMs_b9GaC/theme/dark/icon.svg?c=1bxid64Mup7aczewSAYMX&t=1786987848549) ## Colors | Name | Hex | Theme | | --- | --- | --- | | Black | #000000 | dark | | Wild Sand | #f6f6f6 | light | ## Fonts - var(--primary-button-font-font-family) — asset _(custom)_ --- _Source: _ _See [/llms.txt](/llms.txt) for a full list of agent-readable pages, and [/auth.md](/auth.md) for how agents authenticate._
