Wendy started her anti-racism journey in 2018 after a string of school and mass shootings in the United States. As she learned more about the history of racism in the United States she discovered that her previous decade of studying and integrating learnings about relationship, intimacy, vulnerability and trust was preparing her to tackle the most important issue facing the United States: racism and white supremacy. "While anti-racism work isn't personal development work, we have to do personal development work to be actively anti-racist".
She invited friends and acquaintances to join her on her anti-racism journey. That initial group has turned into several groups and the friends have invited friends of their own, resulting in an ever-expanding community of people with a common goal. She is committed to being a lifelong student and supporting others in their active anti-racism journey.
Wendy has a BA in Psychology from Occidental College in Los Angeles, CA and is a business management consultant living in Seattle.
