Welcome to Rooted in Love!
race, equity, inclusion & justice trainings with heart.
WE DO THIS WORK BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN IT.
We understand conversations around race, equity, inclusion, & justice (REIJ) can and often do feel uncomfortable and challenging. These conversations demand that we wrestle with our own opinions, ideologies, and even values. Transformation can be hard. It often is. The one constant is that we are all on a journey, and everyone’s journey is uniquely their own. That’s why we’re committed to conducting REIJ trainings with heart, from a safe space that centers radical love.
Our goal is to function as a force multiplier. We want to come alongside institutions, organizations, and businesses to amplify (and institutionalize) the good work that is already taking place. We are committed to creating a safe space for your organization to reflect, process, ask questions, and ultimately learn how to make an impact on your organizational culture, moving it closer to equity and justice, so that your work benefits both the employees and the community your organization serves. If you have a heart to do real justice-advancing work, we are here to help.
THIS WORK HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES, AND CAN CHANGE
YOURS, TOO.
At Rooted in Love, Dr. Jeremiah J. Sims, Rachel Sims, M.A., and their esteemed colleagues offer a revolutionary, love-based approach to race, equity, inclusion, and justice (REIJ) coaching, training, strategy, and program development in educational and professional environments.
Renowned for this approach that centers radical inclusivity, the Sims have reimagined both equity work and difficult dialogue, empowering individuals engage on a life-long journey of transformation to effect lasting change.
While dismantling oppressive systems requires ongoing commitment, our IMPACT© toolkit is a simple way for teams to engage in justice work, even if they are new to it. The IMPACT framework functions as a catalyst for the development of an anti-racist growth mindset (ARGM) and is accessible to anyone ready to make a difference.
Whether you're taking your first steps or are a seasoned practitioner, our team at Rooted in Love is eager to connect with you.
