Equity Within

It's October! Fall is here! And election season is upon us. As much as EW is not a political organization, this is a business that values racial justice.

We have a current administration that struggles to condemn white supremacy and wants to squander progress that has been made towards racial and social equity.

Last month, the president proposed that racial sensitivity training is divisive and should be eliminated. That is not okay. He wants to mislead people towards the wrong direction. " Let us say, instead, that Donald Trump has no true power to cancel federal contracts and that this is merely another desperate attempt to gaslight and siphon the energy of the public (which I would argue…yes). His rhetoric of encouraging federal agencies to “report any sightings” while brandishing about an obscure term like critical race theory is a thinly-veiled attempt at confusing and further dividing our country. He posits that critical discourse on race causes division, while failing to take the time to learn how critical race theory and anti-racism training can address the racial unrest currently captivating national conversation. However, the damage is done, and many who are unfamiliar with the framework will latch onto the idea that anti-racism training is the source of destruction and division, rather than the racist ideologies that Trump espouses in attacking this and other necessary work."

Our work to make these spaces more equitable is necessary work. It's too important to allow these attempts to turn into policy and law that prohibits it. If you also believe that this work is too important, honor that belief through your vote

Updates for August - I will not be taking any more clients this month. If you want to partner with me, I will be available again next month.

I hope those who took steps toward having an equitable business stay committed. Our society becomes better when more businesses and institutions prioritize social and racial equity.

In America, we have the highest rate of incarceration. Our country represent only 5% of the global population but cover 20% of the world's prisoners.

And this isn't new information that has been shared recently. Exposing the reality of these systemic problems has been ongoing for decades. But every day more people are coming to terms with America's exploitative history and anti-black infrastructure.

This country does not have adequate healthcare, quality public education, equitable access to jobs with living wages, or any investment in Black communities. That must change.

We, advocates for racial justice and equity, continue to repeat what has been said and demand for what we need because we know that transformation will not take weeks, months, or a couple of years.

We know it may take a lifetime but strongly believe it's possible that we can have sustainable systems. A world where all people can thrive is coming.

Tomorrow is launch day! Equity Within will be available to work with you!
