The Center Consultancy The Center supports organizations nationwide to eliminate disparities, advance

Founded in 2015, CEI co-founders and educators Hanif Fazal and Frewine Kiros created The Center to guide people in creating transformational change by learning how to apply a racial Equity Filter to all aspects of one’s life, especially the workplace. We invite clients to partner in a long-term process –often multiple years– to learn what it takes to embed equity and inclusion and build capacity s

o clients can carry and deepen DEI over time. Our facilitators bring diverse personal and professional experiences, unique skill sets, and an ability to both personalize and strategically operationalize the work with our partners. Having served over 100 clients nationwide since our launch, The Center's adaptive approach is agnostic. Whether a small non-profit or a Fortune 500 company, we know organizational transformation is a complex ecosystem that takes time. When executed with attention to learn and apply an organizational Equity Filter, clients can profoundly shift and positively impact all aspects of work and relationships. By deepening personal relationships, commitment and trust to this work, clients build capacity to do this work.

Politics doesn’t stay outside the workplace anymore.
It shows up in team meetings, Slack channels, and one-on-ones — often without warning.

Ignoring it doesn’t make it disappear.
It creates confusion, silence, and mistrust.

In our latest blog, we explore how leaders can navigate political tension at work without turning conversations into debates or causing harm.
