We believe that equitable systems and institutions begin with equity-conscious individuals.
The Equity Paradigm is a group of diversity practitioners, adult learning facilitators, researchers, organizers, change agents, and passionate social justice activists who are dedicated to equipping mission-driven leaders and organizations with the language, tools, mindsets and strategies for holistically advancing equity in their spheres of influence.
In doing so, we focus on building context through a historical and systemic analysis of the disparities and social ills plaguing our society, allowing our clients to develop more meaningful and impactful solutions and approaches to their most complex challenges.
We recognize that the social change we want to see in the world cannot actualize without a critical emphasis on approaching our work through a lens of racial equity.
We ground our work in the historical construction of race as a system of advantage (with oppression being the strategy to ensure its success) to analyze ourselves and our organizations, and to identify the underlying assumptions and biases that inherently hold us back from catalyzing the change we want to see in the world.
