Yolonda Young-Adisa is changing the world around her, one conversation at a time.
She is committed to social justice and to uplifting the voices of marginalized people by improving our sense of self and community care while celebrating our humanity. Yolonda’s passion frames her world, as her motivation for justice is rooted in her exposure to racism as a young Black girl growing up in the American South; on the cusps of the civil rights movement. She believes in the importance of healing from racial trauma; re-imagining policies, leadership and systems, and implementing strategies that transform systems of oppression.
Yolonda has over a decade of experience in facilitating the transformation of organizations and the development of individuals within professional, academic and clinical fields. She is skilled in creating and implementing customized DEI strategies, conducting training sessions and workshops, providing individual and group therapy and coaching executives and teams to become more intentional, culturally conscious and emotionally intelligent leaders. She uses a holistic approach to address complex social and emotional issues that exist within organizational systems.
