The BFA Institute Way

The Institute’s consultation antiracist approach helps organizations not only improve their efficiency but also critically examine and restructure their operations through an antiracist lens. This involves deep, often challenging work to uncover and address ingrained biases, inequitable policies, and exclusionary practices that may have gone unnoticed or unchallenged for years.

A distinguishing feature of the BFA Institute's approach is its emphasis on community building using liberation practices. This involves creating spaces and processes that allow for authentic dialogue, collective healing, and collaborative problem-solving. By incorporating these practices, organizations can move beyond superficial diversity initiatives to foster genuine inclusion and belonging for all members, particularly those from marginalized communities.
