The Root Of Us LLC

 

 

THE ROOT OF US

 

 

WHO WE ARE

 

We are a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Consultancy with

a focus on identity development, empowerment

and building strong communities.

 

OUR VISION

 

 That all children, youth, mentors, and community members have accurate

knowledge of themselves and their roots, and use that knowledge

to build strong, equitable, inclusive and diverse communities of practice.

We believe that strong roots

build strong communities. 

 

OUR MISSION

 

To provide children, youth, mentors and community members opportunities to grow their knowledge of self, knowledge of historical and contemporary inequities,

and acquire the tools, skills and strategies necessary

for building more equitable and inclusive communities

one root at a time.

 

Knowing ourselves, digging up our roots, is the first step in building strong diverse, inclusive and equitable communities of practice.

​

Diversity, equity and inclusion policies and practices only work when

all parties fully invest, trust the process and do their inner work first.

We cannot expect our community to fully value its diversity,

solve inequities and truly be inclusive if we are not willing

to look at our own strengths, weaknesses and the roots of bias

and privilege which we all have. 

 

From this ground work comes the knowledge needed to build strong, resilient, multicultural, multiracial teams, organizations, and communities - the sturdy trunk.

It is there where we branch out to include others, always working towards the establishment of a just society. Roots, trunk, branches.

 

By seeking authentic relationships through conversations, consultations, circles, classes and conferences, we learn the history of injustice in this country,

how injustice is maintained through individuals, culture, and institutions,

and the strategies, skills and tools to disrupt this. To educate, empower

and uplift individuals and communities, one root at a time. 

 

We can't wait to dig up your roots with you!
