Equity Matters

Equity Matters is a Seattle, Washington-based women of color consulting team. We specialize in supporting organizations in the pursuit of racially just transformation. We engage individuals in making organizational changes that last beyond the current people.

We use collaborative planning, assessments, workshops, and practice and design labs to support systemic racial equity change. We have close to two decades of experience supporting government entities, educational institutions, philanthropic and non-profit organizations.

We value relationships, systems change, transformation, slowing down, squad care, and focusing on power.

Our Connection Cards are designed to spark deep, thoughtful conversations that foster both stronger relationships and racial equity.
