"An educator in a system of oppression is either a revolutionary or an oppressor," notes Lerone Bennett, Jr. This sentiment resonates deeply with the mission of Root LLC and its approach to root coaching, emphasizing the importance of transformative education. At Roots Consulting, we believe that educators can choose to empower their students and foster change in oppressive systems.
...a transformational coach and embodiment educator at Root LLC, dedicated to facilitating a trauma-informed and healing-centered approach to systems change: rewriting harmful narratives, developing equitable and collaborative decision-making processes, fostering cultural empathy and humility, and building inclusive cultures of trust through Roots Consulting.
We're amidst rapid societal change - globally, humankind is a force to be reckoned with, yet our fragmented nature and perspective often blinds us to our collective power and undervalues our unique individuated lived experiences and the wisdom they bring.
As we awaken collectively, we realize the importance of honoring our diverse experiences and perspectives. Embracing authenticity enhances problem-solving and decision-making, both individually and as a whole.
We're questioning the nature of our collective spaces—Are they safe, empowering, inclusive, equitable, accountable, and response-able? This introspection prompts deep inner work, both personally and collectively.
As individuals and groups embark on this journey, support can be invaluable. That's where Root LLC comes in.
My goal at Roots Consulting is to assist your team in this internal exploration, reviewing and refining policies, processes, and structures to foster healthy collaboration, effective power-sharing, and overall organizational, team, and individual well-being.
Let's co-create processes that enable everyone to show up as their authentic selves.
You and your team are eager to enhance your intercultural communication skills, cultivate cultural competence and humility, and foster inclusive and integrative shared spaces. You aspire to develop processes, policies, projects, and programs rooted in equity, anti-racism, trauma-informed and harm reduction principles, while refining your organizational equity literacy and lens through Root LLC's coaching methodologies.
You and your team may have encountered challenges stemming from systemic power dynamics—particularly regarding (inter)cultural tensions—and are seeking to boost your team's ability to effectively connect, communicate, and collaborate across differences. This can be achieved by addressing and transforming conflicts through individual and group leadership coaching, organizational consulting, and facilitated workshops offered by Roots Consulting.
Regardless of the specifics, your team is committed to recognizing and addressing power narratives and culturally dominant and imbalanced power structures entrenched within your team or organizational frameworks. You're prepared to embark on the intentional journey of unpacking, decolonizing, and unlearning systemically oppressive approaches, paving the way for new, inclusive, and empowering pathways forward.
That is for you to tell me! This is where our paths intersect. You hold the expertise of your own lived experiences, as your wisdom runs deep through your veins, held in the cellular memory of your body. You're prepared to challenge yourself by delving into the historical backdrop of power dynamics imprinted on your being, ready to acknowledge your socialized and racialized identities and their influence on your lived experiences. Through root coaching, you are open to engage critically in somatic self-reflection and inquiry rooted in mindfulness, historical context, social identity, and cultural humility. You're embarking on a personal journey of learning, healing, growth, transformation, and ultimately, liberation with the support of Roots Consulting. This journey will clarify your starting point and desired destination, free from external pressures, allowing you to become more attuned to your strengths, skills, challenges, traumas, and wisdom. Moreover, you'll discern how to share your wisdom with the collective. Indeed, deeper self-awareness enhances our cultural humility, intercultural competence, and authentic relationships, reinforcing the mission of Root LLC.
