OUR WHY
The Equity Process' Why:
Ubuntu, the Zulu word for HUMANITY, and its principles will sustain us during our most celebrated and challenging times while we journey together. Here at The Equity Process, we believe in Umoja and Ujima/Ujamaa, the Swahili words for Unity, Collective Work, and Responsibility! These two principles center our work. We aim to create awareness and disrupt unkind, uncompassionate and biased practices and policies that create inequities in common spaces. We are here because we believe in your community and you do, too!
