Hello!My name is Juan, and I am currently seeking new opportunities in the field of racial equity and social inclusion. I recently transitioned to consulting full-time with my business, Spectrum Equity Solutions. I previously served as the Director of Content and Training at Equity in the Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to shifting mindsets, practices, and systems in the social sector to center race equity and build race equity cultures.As an educator by training and an organizer at heart, I believe in my power to connect people's broader understanding of race and power to tangible actions that affect change. Before joining Equity in the Center, I served as the Gulf/Delta Regional Manager for Race Forward's Government Alliance on Race and Equity (GARE), where I worked with jurisdictions in the region to apply a racial equity framework to their operations by designing and facilitating workshops for local government leaders. I also hosted the GARE Network Arts and Culture Work Group, whose mission is to build critical infrastructure and connective tissue for Arts and Cultural Affairs offices across the country, in order to move cultural narratives in more racially equitable directions.I work from my home in Houston, TX and continue to partner with people and organizations that pursue racial equity and community engagement across the Gulf region and beyond.I am an award-winning educator with 10 years of teaching and administrative experience, and I hold a B.A. in Political Science from Dillard University and an M.S. in Educational Studies from Johns Hopkins University.Stay tuned for more information about my services and how I can support your organization's racial equity goals.
