Creating Space for BIPOC Racial Equity Practitioners to Connect, Learn & Grow

In 2023, PHI’s State of Equity launched the?Transformative Leadership Cohort (TLC),?a leadership development and support program?that specifically centers the learning and growth of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) racial equity practitioners. The inaugural TLC cohort brought together 28 BIPOC racial equity practitioners who either work in California state government or in community-based organizations—providing participants with?space to connect, share and reflect; analyze policies and?practices in their workplace; and develop recommendations for enhancing their organization's racial equity work. "This cohort gave me what I didn’t know I needed," said one participant.?"I laughed. I cried. I learned. I healed...I definitely recommend this series for all agencies." One learning from the group:?BIPOC employees need racial equity professional development opportunities that center their own learning and relationships.
