Michaela Brown Email & Phone Number

Michaela (pronouns she/her; Spokane) is a deeply curious, over thinking, heart in hand lover of people and history. Her background in collective impact organizing and commitment to advancing a world where everyone belongs has led her to serve in many community capacities focused on advancing individual and collective learning around diversity, equity, and leadership. This includes her role as the director of community learning for Excelerate Success, an education equity partnership, and in her roles as a race equity facilitator. Michaela holds a bachelor’s degree in history and leadership studies from Gonzaga University and a master’s in administrative nonprofit leadership from Whitworth University. Her formal education combined with her passion for capacity building, identity development, and community healing keeps her grounded and ready to grow with and cheer on change makers across the Northwest.As a multi-racial woman, Michaela finds power in the ability to hold the complexities of our interconnected lives and leans on the mantra by adrienne maree brown: “Where we are born into privilege we are charged to unlearn any myth of supremacy, where we are born into struggle, we are charged with claiming or dignity, joy and liberation.” Emboldened by the brilliance of our ancestors as well as modern revolutionaries, Michaela in her wholeness seeks to cultivate learning spaces that are relational and transformative.
