The most dangerous conversation about race is the one we don’t have. | The Equity Lab seeks to disrupt racial and ethnic inequity by engaging organizations in issues of race, equity, diversity, and inclusion (REDI). We help individuals to develop a deep understanding of their own identity and the historical and cultural contexts in which we all operate, and we empower them to become agents of progress in their personal and professional spheres. We serve as an objective third party to our clients, providing honest guidance, ongoing partnership, and a safe, compassionate space to do what we know is serious, difficult, and deeply necessary work.

No matter who wins tomorrow or how the results unfold, one thing is clear: The fight for issues of race, equity, diversity, and inclusion doesn’t stop. In a highly polarized environment, REDI leaders stay ready. Here’s how: https://lnkd.in/e4tBwj6R

It’s been a week since we left Denver after spending time with our new cohort of Nexus Fellows. We’re still feeling the energy, brilliance and compassion of these outstanding leaders and can’t wait to see what they do in the year ahead!

In this election the stakes are high and the future of democracy is on the line. But things feel a little different this time around. There’s a powerful grassroots movement taking place that’s influencing the 2024 Election—one led by a strategy we’ve been using at The Equity Lab for years to help catalyze multi-racial coalition–affinity groups. By harnessing the power of collective identity, they aren’t just mobilizing—affinity groups are redefining modern civic engagement, and have become the unsung MVP of the election.

We're so proud of our very own #Nexus Cohort III Alum Van L. Davis !! Congratulations!!

At The Equity Lab, you’ll hear us talk about Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (REDI), rather than DEI. Leading with race isn’t just a framework—it’s a movement toward lasting, systemic change. By centering race in our work, we unlock deeper possibilities for equity, justice, and collective liberation. More on our approach → https://lnkd.in/g2tnfSdU

We're grateful for the opportunity our Executive Director, Michelle Molitor , had to partner on this board retreat at the The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in NYC. We can't wait to witness all of the transformation ahead!

It was so much fun to be with Dara Baldwin and Xaykham Khamsyvoravong yesterday, and especially with this year's amazing YSEALI Fellows. Be sure you get Dara's book: https://lnkd.in/gN9JNa3V and, if you live in Newport, RI, vote to re-elect Xay as Mayor! In these times, it's so good to be with people who know how to talk about equity AND walk their talk!
