Guiding Communities Into Deeper Connections
Working with you to support your personal and organization's commitment to equity, justice, and inclusion.

THE PROCESS |
A Unique Service Anchored
in Compassion
|
Red Lotus Consulting is a race equity and justice service boutique that is all about creating and holding spaces of compassion for organizations. Our work rests upon amplifying and integrating the personal narratives, lived experiences, and truths of every person in a room, and allowing these elements to enhance the richness and effectiveness of an organization.
|
We take on the challenge of stepping into the often awkward and uncomfortable conversations around race in order for our clients to gain a deeper level of understanding and clarity on the ways in which race impacts our ability to connect to each other. And from this point of understanding and clarity, we then work with our clients to develop an organizational environment that is more inclusive, equitable, and just.
