Did you know Epiphanies of Equity has expanded its capacity to work with more clients? That's because the team has grown to include two Associate Consultants and a small but mighty admin team!

Lately, a lot of you have asked about EOE and whether we were at capacity. Absolutely not! We are open and able to help with strategic plans, policy reviews, procedure audits, training and workforce development, change management/ leadership roadmaps, and more.

Check out this link introducing our expanded team, and reach out if you are looking for social equity, change management/ leadership, or other support.

I will feature our new consultants and admin team individually next week on LinkedIn and Facebook. Stay tuned!

Epiphanies of Equity (EoE), incorporated in early 2018, was born out of the organizing, advocacy, and policy work of the Founder, ChrisTiana ObeySumner. ChrisTiana nurtured EoE over the course of 3 years into a national social equity consulting firm, and in 2021, it expanded its staff.

When we talk about any strategy, bottleneck, or problem regarding inequity, (including justice, accessibility, diversity, governance, inclusion, etc.) we're inherently talking about a - Sociological - problem. If we want to be specific, a foundational PsychoSocial situation.

That's why the book I recommend the most to clients is "Change: How organizations Achieve Hard-to-Imagine Results in Uncertain and Volatile Times" by John Kotter. This is my third time reading it.

The most "Uncertain and Volatile" variable of all equity issues are Humans. This is why equity strategies and plans fail or stall without incorporating the Human element required for effective, collective, and sustainable progress.

Reading this again to inform some exciting projects and essays coming soon. Let me know if you want to hear more thoughts and tips as I read through this and other books! 🤓

ChrisTiana was honored to facilitate a Change Management workshop for Philanthropy Northwest Illuminate Virtual Summit.

The workshop's title is: "Aligning Purpose, People, and Process: Change Management for Transformative Equitable Change."

This is when They were defining the difference between diversity, inclusion, and equity using my (in)famous "Pimp my Ride" metaphor! 😄

Thank you for having us...
