About Hillombo
Our Core Focus
We engage Black radical, Black feminist, European and Latin American socialist as well as U.S. capitalist frameworks such as Adaptive Leadership, in support of organizations and individuals that are building practices that begin to disrupt, or further disrupt, our participation in the Nonprofit Industrial Complex’s systemic oppression. Our work includes facilitation, strategy, evaluation, coaching, and the supporting of predominantly White organizations in creating public antiracist commitments to which they agree to be held accountable.
