Approach to the work of Race, Equity & Inclusion

When working with people and organizations, we use a person-centered/thought partnership model which recognizes that the individuals working within an organization and in a given community are the experts in their fields. We believe in the expertise that people bring to the table and we see our job as simply helping them connect the dots between their individual role, their organizations’ role and the systemic roles that work together to perpetuate inequity. From there, we help them identify the changes needed to produce more equitable outcomes for those they are serving and their community at large.

We approach each interaction with a goal of building rapport, building trust and creating space for self- evaluation and reflection. The most critical of these approaches being self-evaluation and reflection because it will provide the individual with the opportunity to critically examine the role they play in perpetuating harmful narratives and inequitable policies and practices within their organizations and in their systems-change efforts and will ultimately empower them to identify ways they can disrupt these harmful narratives, policies, practices and seed systemic change. Our primary role will be that of thought partner, advisor and accountability partner, helping the individuals and organizations identify gaps, recognize their strengths and challenge/push them to move past their comfort zones.
