Our work centers on relationship and relational accountability and applies equity throughout as both a process and an outcome. These ways of operating are reflected in our practices, processes, and the products we design and create. We work together regularly, co-facilitating as part of the SoC team, as well as facilitating multiple community organizing projects. Our collaborative style combines individual expertise and passions while utilizing an asset-based framework for pairing consultants with client projects.

The SoC team has extensive experience with strategic development projects, including hundreds of hours of equity-based, non-hierarchical skilled facilitation. Our core competencies include racial-justice practice, community action for navigating criminal legal entities, and liberation-based change work. Our team has witnessed, firsthand, the power of cross-racial organizing to transform people, organizations, and community coalitions. We believe that a cross-racial approach and working in collaboration are critical to any successful initiative for racial justice and community growth. By working as a team in these ways, we seek to model and honor our mentors. Our approach to consulting has grown out of being called on by our respective communities to step into roles as advisors and thought partners. We focus on listening, documenting, reflecting, and coordinating to bring out the best in groups and collaborations.
