We develop strategies and partnerships that eradicate race-based disparities and inequities impacting Black communities in Greenville County—and that benefit us all.
Conventional thinking won’t solve complex problems like racial inequity — but systems thinking can. We address deeper, less obvious barriers that drive racial disparities among Black communities in Greenville County because we know that when we uplift these communities, our whole community becomes stronger and better for everyone.
Systems thinking might sound like a complicated idea, but it’s really about recognizing a bigger picture. Just like a fish doesn’t realize it’s swimming in water because the water has always been there, we often don’t notice the barriers getting in the way of our collective prosperity, like policy choices and everyday practices that unfairly (and sometimes unintentionally) reinforce disparities.
We believe someone’s success shouldn’t be statistically predictable based on their racial identity. Through our innovative Think-Do-Learn Lab and community-wide learning efforts, we tackle this widespread, complex problem head on, educating and enlisting our whole community on Greenville County’s history of racism and its present-day impact.
