  • Overwhelming to sort through thousands of check-box options

  • Disappointing to see burnt out staff that don’t want to engage

  • Stressful to ‘get it right’

  • Frustrating to see diverse staff and leaders leave

Testimonials

“Dr. Mera was able to guide us through a series of exercises that helped us better understand our own biases and how they impact our interactions with others. I left the session feeling more informed and empowered to take action towards creating a more equitable world. I highly recommend UBP to individuals and organizations looking to deepen their understanding of racial justice and take meaningful steps towards change.”

“My business has already seem the impact of my consultations with UBP, as I engage in community from a mindset and ethos increasingly about prioritizing awareness of my own biases and commitment to engaging with others while open to correction, repair, and connection.”

“The UBP team worked with us to develop customized content designed to meet specific learning objectives for the admissions committee of our academic degree program. The team was professional throughout and seemed very invested in effecting a positive outcome.”

“… I think the UBP presentation will be recognized as a turning point in our organization.”

- Melissa M., Tulare County HHSA

“I chose UBP because you have a reputation of being really careful, and making sure that everyone’s on the same page - that was exactly what we were looking for. We wanted people who have experience talking about these issues, who are thoughtful and careful.”
-Dr. Chrissy S., Co-Leader
