Community Pulse
This work gave me a language for what I already knew but could not articulate. For years I navigated spaces where racial inequity was obvious but unspoken. RECI gave me the frameworks, the data, and the community to name it — and more importantly, to act on it.
Keisha Williams
Senior Policy Analyst, City of Pittsburgh
RECI changed how I show up in equity work. Before, I thought I understood the issues — now I realize I was only scratching the surface. The cohort model pushed me to examine my own assumptions while building real strategies I can apply in my organization.
Rasheed Thompson
Program Director, Allegheny County Health Department
RECI has helped our team move from good intentions to clearer, more grounded equity action.
