Our Mission
Diversity and Equity Consultants strives to ensure that all individuals are validated and celebrated for their diversity, and that they are included and honored for the unique and complex identities that they bring to schools, organizations, and businesses. We assert that embracing all diversity leads to a more humane world in which we all thrive. We lean into difficult topics in order to better prepare ourselves for equity in every environment and strive to assist you in bringing this mission to fruition.
DEI (Diversity, Equity & Inclusion), MUST also be RDEI (Race, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion)
You will often see diversity work encapsulated within the terms of diversity, equity and inclusion. At Diversity and Equity Consultants, we will consistently utilize the term RDEI (Race, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion). We know from the research that the social construct of race is avoided and is one of the most difficult topics to explore. The aversion and anxiety in discussing topics of race, discrimination, and systems of privilege and racism must be a part of all conversations in order to identify and address some of our most challenging issues. In the words of the late James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed…but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”
