brings success to anyone.

Systemic/Institutional Racism
The condition that would be achieved if one’s
racial identity no longer predicted, in a
statistical sense, how one will likely fare in life. It
is the proactive reinforcement of policies,
practices, attitudes, and actions that produce
equitable power, access, opportunities,
treatment and impacts for all.

Racial Equity
Unconscious acceptance of cultural norms
that value certain attributes more than
others, and then valuing people or groups

scious decision-making process &
behaviors.
