What Is Your Organization’s
Solidarity & Unity EQ?

Far from “just another DEI audit”—this team assessment, rooted in timeless BIPOC women’s wisdom, helps your organization identify where it stands and grow its practice of awareness and collaboration across difference.

More than a survey. A barometer for your organization’s collective practice.

The Solidarity and Unity EQ doesn’t measure what your organization believes—it measures how your teams show up, and grow, in solidarity across difference. You’ll receive your Organizational Stage, your Blocker Profile, and a personalized path forward. No shame, no blame. All rooted in the wisdom of BIPOC Foremothers whose bravery can inspire us right now.
“Our team started the training convinced we were already an inclusive workplace. We left with a shared vocabulary and a map for where we actually needed to grow. That honesty—delivered without shame—is what made the change stick.”

SAMPLE RESULT

Organizational Stage 3 of 6 Awakening

Primary Blocker: The Performance Loop

SUSTAINABLE PRACTICE

AUTHENTIC ENGAGEMENT

INCLUSIVE ACTION

RELATIONAL DEPTH

Six Stages. One Direction.

Solidarity is not a certificate on the wall—it is a level of trust your people and community experience from your organization, based on consistent choices and systems. The Solidarity EQ places your organization honestly on this continuum.

STAGE ONE

1

🔇

Disengaged

No formal equity practice; concerns go unacknowledged or are actively dismissed.

STAGE TWO

2

📋

Compliant

Meets minimum legal or optical requirements; equity work stays performative.

STAGE THREE

3

🪞

Awakening

Leadership names the gaps, but action across the org is still inconsistent.

STAGE FOUR

4

🔄

Restructuring

Actively rebuilding policies, hiring, and culture—messy, but in motion.

STAGE FIVE

5

🌐

Accountable

Equity is embedded in decisions, budgets, and metrics, not a side initiative.

STAGE SIX

6

🏘️

Beloved Community

Solidarity is the culture. Trust and shared power are lived daily, org-wide.

What's Getting in the Way?

🧊

The Freeze

Avoidance, apathy, “I’m not political.” Disengagement framed as neutrality.

🛡️

The Shield

Fragility, defensiveness, centering your feelings in spaces not built for you.

🔁

The Performance Loop

Performative allyship, box-checking, virtue signaling without relationship.

⚖️

The Labor Imbalance

Extracting from BIPOC folks, outsourcing the learning, not doing your own work.

🏛️

The Monoculture Default

Treating one culture’s norms as neutral, universal, or “just how things are done.”
