The Rising Awareness Journey
“If Inclusion, Healing, and Belonging is deliberately and intentionally practiced by everyone within one’s business, organization, and institution, then one will have Diversity, Equity, and all the other letters following the acronym DEI.” – Perry Rhue
The Rising Awareness Journey is an international multiethnic collective movement dedicated to educating, teaching, and equipping Corporate, Business, and Human Resources Leaders, Diversity & Inclusion Champions, and Professional Trusted Advisors (Coaches, Facilitators, Consultants), with the skillset, tools, and resources to effectively navigate the “messy and uncomfortable conversations about racism and related social constructs.”
Our vision is to actively mend (repair), knit (interlock) like a fractured or broken bone, and heal The Human Race from racism and related social constructs through professional coaching, one person and conversation at a time
Our Core Value – Agápé (ah-GAH-peh), the ancient Greek word for “unconditional love.”
We will accomplish our work by creating coaching "change and healing agents" who are like-minded/like-spirited critical thinkers already doing the work of Inclusion, Healing, and Belonging while adhering to Rising Awareness' philosophy, methodology, and activism.
