The Google Tech Equity Collective program has been okay; but, as I have said from the beginning, I dislike the on-demand part.

One of our favorite features of the Equity Audit is that it’s free. Yep! Everyone gets an equity audit! If you have 3 team members or 300 team members, your organization likely hasn’t budgeted for a deep individualized equity needs assessment. We don’t want cost to be a barrier for...

We must also acknowledge that many of the outcomes within our economy fall into the category of features, rather than bugs.

The educational system is intended to be a beacon of equality and opportunity but it often falls short of these ideals due to systemic biases and discriminatory practices.

In today’s society, there is a growing need for more inclusive and equitable communication. That’s why, as a digital communications manager with a background in community organizing, I can’t stress enough the importance of using the right language when communicating about racial...

Climate justice is racial justice. There is no way to talk about equitable, effective, and just solutions to climate change without also talking about the disproportionate burdens that communities of color shoulder as the planet warms. The legacies of systemic racism and discrimination mea...
