ABOUT US

Overcoming Racism provides high-impact race and equity professional development and consultation that aims to aid our partners in developing the capacity and orientation to equity that allows them to create institutions that dismantle systems of oppression that exist in their work and to improve the collective cultural competence of team members.  

By affecting change via the governing philosophies, practices, systems, structures, and policies of an organization, organizations can acknowledge and celebrate the ethnically and culturally diverse backgrounds of all in service of an inclusive anti-racist environment that unapologetically demands equity and justice. 

WHY WE EXIST

Racism and all other intersections of oppression shape opportunity and access in U.S. society. Everyday, people of marginalized groups will face the brutal realities of systemic oppression, stereotype threat, and micro-aggressions in their everyday pursuits. It is critical that we work together to dismantle these systems in service of equity and justice for all.
