Clients: NAACP, City of Olympia, Girl Scouts, Bellevue College, WA State Board of EducationFernell Miller, CEO and Founder of The Root Of Us LLC, an Equity and Inclusion Consultancy that collaborates with educational, governmental, and nonprofits organizations in service of racial healing and social justice with a focus on Black Youth Advocacy. Fernell is an education activist and community organizer for social change. She has intentionally built a framework for radical liberatoration and solidarity with abolitionist practices in which vulnerability, love, truth, personal and collective power, mutuality, respect, and healing are consistently modeled, firmly held, and always a soft place to land. Fernell is instrumental to the development and maintenance of this environment and the level at which the youth engage. Fernell’s work as an educator spanning 40 years, carries deep community trust with families, especially Black/Brown families and Students of Color. Her very presence in predominantly white communities is a disruption to white supremacy culture and presents the opportunity to address the racism we were taught not to see, not to hear and certainly not to speak about. Join Fernell and The Root Of Us in a Racial Healing Circle, which is a brave space to unlearn what we were taught about each other alongside each other, and relearn the truth about our own identities, race, racism, whiteness, white supremacy culture, anti-blackness and the systems that continue to perpetuate racism over our Humanity. Racial Healing Circle is our Emergency Room where we can recover, center and practice our humanity. "When we unlearn the lies we were told or taught about ourselves and each other, the truth we discover can be applied and acted upon with authenticity, confidence and courage.That's why we start with the root of us."-Fernell Miller Corporate Training request or a Keynote?Fernell MillerFounder & CEOThe Root Of Usinfo@therootofus.comtherootofus.com
