Have you seen it yet?
This facilitator guidebook supports individuals, teams, and organizations in addressing racial inequities in the workplace.
Developed to foster meaningful dialogue and action, it offers practical tools, guided exercises, and real-world scenarios to support equity-centered change. We provide workshops as a helpfult guide through the facilitator guidebook.

Our vision
“Our communities, people of color, working people, and women, are still waiting outside the institution’s walls. Waiting for us to serve. Waiting for us to act. We can reclaim social responsibility. We must. We will.”
– Melanie Tervalon, May 1980
At WOCHEC, we envision a world where women and girls of color do more than survive—they thrive. For five years, our team has worked to turn that vision into action, and we invite you to be part of what comes next.
Imagine healthcare where women and girls of color are heard, respected, and empowered to make decisions about their own well-being. That future starts with cultural humility: listening first, learning continuously, and honoring lived experience.
For WOCHEC, cultural humility means self-reflection, accountability, and partnership with communities. We invest in ongoing training, engage community voices in decision-making, tailor programs to real needs, and advocate for policies that confront systemic racism in healthcare.
Our work spans training, community assessments, consulting, coaching, advocacy, and research—all designed to create lasting, measurable change. We adapt to each community because equity is not one-size-fits-all.
Join us in advancing the legacy of identity politics, Black feminist thought, Chicana feminism, reproductive justice, and cultural humility. As Loretta Ross reminds us, “We shouldn’t give away our power by allowing others to define us out of our own movement.”

Our position on current events in the middle east
At the heart of our principles is a fervent commitment to humanity and the liberation of all people. We firmly assert that no individual should live under occupation, colonization, or any form of oppression. We recognize that violence is not the ultimate answer to these grave injustices, but we must also acknowledge that marginalized people, historically and presently, have often responded to violence committed upon them with violent responses. It is our responsibility to address the root causes of oppression, promote nonviolent conflict resolution, and strive for a world where all individuals can experience dignity, freedom, and equality. The Collective encourages others to make the same commitment.
