Here's a look at the 2025 cohort of our Racial Equity Fellowship (a.k.a. DEAL 9)!
Our Racial Equity Fellowship is a year-long program for emerging and experienced leaders with a deep commitment to racial equity. We officially kicked off DEAL 9, our newest cohort, with a two-day orientation earlier this month!
The orientation sets the groundwork for this year-long experience of:
building a shared understanding of racial equity,
developing skills and tools needed to disrupt racism and create equitable alternatives,
and co-creating a space to deepen relationships within a multiracial and multigenerational network of racial equity leaders.
One of the highlights of our orientation experience is giving fellows an opportunity to share an artifact that represents their personal connection to the work.
It was an honor to witness the fellows' authenticity and vulnerability as they shared their stories.
We heard themes of safety, home, and connection through a myriad of artifacts including cultural objects, quotes, old photos, artwork, books, and more! It was an important moment for centering our humanity.
This experience really is co-created! We're looking forward to seeing what this year holds, and sharing snippets of it with you along the way.
But first, get to know the DEAL 9 cohort!
