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.

Cultivating Pro-Black Spaces

Power is the root of structural inequity, and we must examine the historical and current contexts in which oppression is allowed to thrive. How are we actively and intentionally working to build a better world where Black people are not just living but thriving?
