Foundation for a healthy st. Petersburg

Estrategia partners with the Foundation for a Healthy St. Petersburg (FHSP) to assess and engage the Latinx community in Tampa Bay. FHSP is a nonprofit with a mission of race equity and health equity in Pinellas County. They inspire and empower people, ideas, information exchange, organizations and relationships to end differences in health due to institutional racism. Estrategia offers FHSP expertise in cultural awareness and strategic planning with the intention of amplifying Latinx voices and empowering the Latine community. Through this partnership, Estrategia has conducted listening conversations and a comprehensive interview method to foster an authentic and impactful communication approach between FHSP and Latinx Pinellas County families.  Additionally, Estrategia works with FHSP to offer support to the local Latinx equity collective Mi Gente Mi Pueblo

Estrategía is currently working as an empowerment evaluator, under contract with the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), which used funding from the W.W. Kellogg Foundation to fund ten (10) campus-based grantees in their implementation of Kellogg’s Truth Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) model. Campuses are quite diverse and include, for example, Brown University, The Citadel, the University of Hawaii, Spellman University, among others. The goal of TRHT is to change the historically dominant narrative of a racial hierarchy to one that embraces equality. This must be done through well-structured and facilitated opportunities for diverse students to share their personal narratives – to tell the truth – in safe places where both understanding and healing can occur.

AAC&U is partnering with higher education institutions to develop Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Campus Centers to prepare the next generation of strategic leaders and thinkers to break down racial hierarchies and dismantle the belief in the hierarchy of human value.

The TRHT Campus Centers have developed and are implementing visionary action plans with the aim of moving the needle on the transformative goal of erasing structural barriers to equal treatment and opportunity on campuses, in our communities, and for our nation around the pillars of the TRHT Framework: narrative change, racial healing and relationship building, separation, law, and economy. Additional information on the TRHT Framework can be accessed here.

unity Day: Youth Leadership Hillsborough Schools

Seeking to develop leadership practices among youth and build a culture of inclusion at their school, Armwood High School sought out Estrategia Group to design and lead a series of youth conferences that would cultivate youth leadership skills, practice courageous dialogue, and explore topics of diversity, equity and inclusion. Youth participants in the conferences committed to a designated time of getting to know themselves and each other, while engaging in productive dialogue around issues and ideas to make their communities or schools safer for everyone. After four years of conducting two to three conferences per year, the school institutionalized a Unity Day Club and a Mediation team.

Allegany Franciscan Ministries

Experts in the formation of community dialogue, Estrategia Group played an integral role in helping facilitate the goal of Allegany Franciscan Ministries to strengthen three underserved Florida communities. Estrategia co-facilitated small and large community conversations that sought to listen and learn from citizens about their concerns and needs in the community. Some common themes stemming from these conversations were access to quality employment, access to quality youth development opportunities, infrastructure, and having a voice to inform decisions made for their community. These conversations ultimately led to the development of the Common Good Initiative, which is committed to engaging community members, implementing strategies, and providing resources toward the creation of healthy and thriving communities.
