Race matters in our nation and around the world. It is critical that we address racial issues in order to uncover personal and institutional biases that prevent all people, and especially people of color, from reaching their fullest potential. COURAGEOUS CONVERSATION® serves as the essential strategy for systems and organizations to address racial disparities through safe, authentic and effective cross-racial dialogue.

Pacific Educational Group is a consulting firm committed to forging racial equity. Over our nearly 30-year history, our mission has expanded from an original focus on transforming PreK-12 education and the United States to a broader scope of work that now addresses race in higher education, corporations, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and law enforcement in Canada, New Zealand and Australia as well.

We believe systemic racism is the most devastating factor contributing to the diminished capacity of all people—especially people of color and indigenous people—to achieve at the highest levels. It fractures our communities and erodes the support and nourishment we would otherwise receive from them. We cannot hope to eliminate the racially predictable outcomes of our lives unless we first discuss race and racism in a way that is earnest, honest and sustainable.
