"The Fabric of SLO County: Understanding the Diversity and Contributions of Our Immigrant Community"

Our School Speakers Program helps showcase the importance of telling our story and the importance of seeing the world from someone else's perspective.

​

Our speaker list includes a diverse group of speakers including race, ethnicity, gender, immigration status and disabilities.

Our training aims to provide training to BIPOC professionals to be a good, effective board leader and create a pipeline of board ready candidates trained in board governance; as well as to facilitate board placement assistance for non-profits recruiting to diversify its board.

SLO Equity is a podcast that dives into the origins of systemic racism, and unconscious bias in San Luis Obispo County. It tells the stories of the minorities affected by it as well as the stories of those people working to improve diversity, equity and inclusion in this predominantly white community.

Building on our School Speaker program, we connect the community with our outstanding speakers and panelists through public presentations throughout SLO County.

Our team supports a myriad of projects bringing an equitable lens to program and policy design. While historically we have prioritizes educational initiatives, we recognize the urgency of tackling inequities immediately.

Women of color experience unique perspectives at the intersection of race and gender. This dual identity often results in distinct social, economic, and cultural outcomes that are not fully addressed by movements focusing solely on either race or gender. By fostering connections and celebrating their achievements, we can promote inclusivity, amplify their voices, and work towards a more equitable society for all.
