RACING TO EQUITY

R2E’s mission is to catalyze communities, government, and other institutions to dismantle structural barriers and create fair outcomes for all. We design and apply tools and strategies to dismantle structural barriers, in order to achieve justices and fairness.

Our Work

Racing to Equity Consulting Group supports individuals and institutions of all kinds to center healing, liberation, justice, fairness, and structural transformation in their personal and professional lives. Current and past partnerships have included working with community-based organizations, advocacy coalitions, local government agencies, philanthropic groups, and many more. Our multicultural team brings more than 40 years of combined experience in leading and facilitating systems transformation, professional development, and capacity building while centering adaptive leadership and systems thinking.

Our work is rooted in our values and foundational beliefs. We value integrity, adaptability, accountability, excellence, community, and justice. We firmly believe that this work is about healing and liberation for all people and that we all have a collective responsibility to change the status quo. Our approach builds on the belief that strong relationships are foundational to advancing justice and fairness.

To this end, we engage clients and partners in a way that encourages and inspires them to explore dynamics of difference while challenging them to grow in their awareness of self, adaptive leadership, and knowledge of others. We help leaders and organizations make meaningful personal connections to structural barriers in order to dismantle them and replace them with newly developed systems that ensure systemic and sustainable justice, fairness, and liberation.

We are all in different places in our individual and collective journey towards advancing justice and fairness, and we celebrate and meet one another where we are at and progress forward together. No matter where we are in our leadership journey for justice and fairness, each one of us has the responsibility to learn how to improve our knowledge, skills, competencies, and actions to advance justice and fairness in the context of our professional leadership practice.

We support organizations in their journey towards justice and fairness through a variety of methods, including our Transformational Leadership Institute, Organizational Development & Assessment, Executive Coaching, Curriculum Development & Planning, HR Redesign, Speaking Engagements, Professional & Leadership Development sessions,

Public Workshops, and recorded E-Learnings.

We look forward to working with you towards creating a world based on principles of justice and fairness where every human being is honored, valued, and dignified.

TESTIMONIALS

Talking about diversity, inclusion and equity is harder than one might think – even for a bunch of do-gooders who work for an organization like the Y. We are an organization that prided itself on being inclusive before inclusiveness was cool. Over the 6-month deep dive, Tami and Bernardo designed the sessions in a thoughtful and intentional way. Meaningful progress was made in every session. As a group, we got more and more comfortable grappling with these issues over the weeks. The tone of the meeting went from nervous and superficial in week one to listening and questioning in week 10. The knowledge we shared by the end of this deep dive allowed us to have rich problem-solving conversations that led to a plan that is already guiding our work. The time in this workshop was well worth it, and I would recommend it to any YMCA that is serious about expanding impact in the communities served.
