PRINCIPAL PARTNERS

Because antiracism work is best done in collaboration, Casey is proud to work with the following partners:

Karimah Edwards

Karimah Edwards, MS, JD, is the founder and Principal of HummingVoices. Karimah approaches all her efforts using a racial equity lens and is committed to elevating the voices, capabilities and needs of community members who often fall outside the circle of human concern. Karimah brings more than a combined 20 years of experience in research, training, facilitation, and planning. She spent the first 10 years of her career honing her research skills working in two top-rated research libraries, Wake Forest and Tulane Universities.

HummingVoices understands the value small businesses and community organizations bring to communities - especially communities of color. Often these entities serve as important cultural institutions and community resources but sometimes lack the capacity to support sustainable operations. Hummingbird Community Cooperation is deeply rooted in the knowledge that pooling community resources and forming partnerships can increase capacity and empower communities.

Skilled at navigating critical matters, Karimah has provided racial equity assessments for multiple departments throughout the City of Seattle, served as a transition facilitator for federal employees following the 2019 government shutdown and has served as a member of multiple public and private committees dedicated to eradicating racism and supporting social justice.

Lauren Kite

With a background in marine biology, training as a yoga practitioner, and vast experience with race-based caucusing, Lauren brings curiosity, mindfulness and intentionality to her projects. As a teacher and facilitator of more than 10+ years, Lauren possesses a keen, discerning lens to the on-going conversation around environmental, social, and racial justice. Lauren has a passion for supporting individuals and organizations to identify and implement sustainable and integrated action, while fostering a radically respectful internal culture of learning, growth, and accountability. Lauren’s approach has been proven to result in processes that have deep and lasting impact for the communities she serves. Attuned to our somatic responses to how we interact with our environments, Lauren understands the interconnection of nature and human existence and how it relates to us all being centered and whole.

Tiffany Young

Tiffany Young is an unapologetic social reformer and compassionate crusader for justice, whose mission is to elevate equity and promote health for all people. She’s known for her thought-provoking insights into the social issues that adversely impact the health of racial and ethnic minorities throughout the United States and beyond. She has a profound ability to captivate and connect audiences in efforts to bridge the racial and wealth gaps that have both defined and divided our nation. A University of Maryland trained public health social worker and co-founder of Epic Health Solutions, Tiffany works tirelessly to engage, educate, and empower this generation to incite the kind of social change that lifts equity and upholds social justice in all ways. Always.

Agueda Dudley-Berrios

Agueda’s commitment to elevating racial equity, justice, diversity, and inclusion spans several industries, including housing and homelessness services, grassroots organizing and power-building, and community planning. As a Case Manager at YouthCare, working with housing-insecure young people, Agueda served on the Cultural Impact Committee (a group tasked with addressing the organization's racial equity work). She also led the Language Access Team where she helped develop and implement training for staff across the agency, and she piloted and co-facilitated her department's race-based caucusing. As a consultant, she has supported operations, communications, training curriculum development and facilitation for various equity and leadership initiatives across the country. Agueda provides deep analysis of racial and relational dynamics and has a unique ability to stay grounded while engaging in and leading difficult conversations.
