Colemon & Associates

Why are companies and communities calling for greater equity, diversity, and inclusion? Because the absence of equity has resulted in the disparities we experience in social outcomes. These disparities exist in the income and wealth gap, in the criminal justice system, and in access to healthcare. For too long America has grappled with injustices that impact communities of color, LGBTQ+ and the poor hardest and at higher rates. The core aspects of societal life - the ability to earn a livable wage, adequate housing, and an ability to move freely through community without fear of bodily harm - allows ALL to reach their full potential, thrive, and belong. This is why Colemon and Associates were established. We are here to extinguish status quo approaches and help create synergies, leapfrog obstacles, and maximize impact. We specialize in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) solutions - greatly needed in most workplaces today. We understand that when organizations achieve inclusivity; their staff, volunteers, and bottom lines are more impactful and poised to accomplish their mission and stated goals.

Our consultants and researchers have extensive experience in the design, implementation, and evaluation of model programs, Community Based Participatory Action Research training.
