As we wrote this report, we acknowledge that we, too, are experiencing much of what we will discuss in this report – they are not just words on a page. Though there are moments of celebration and hope here, much of the content is weighty, and you may experience that weight in your body and spirit. 

We worked with over 25 leaders and reviewed dozens of articles, white papers, and other material to complete our capture of race and leadership in 2024. Our collective hope is that this report will be grounded in relationships, inspire new relationships, and deepen pre-existing relationships. In short, we hope you felt seen somewhere in here. This report is meant to be space for us and each other.
