San Francisco Equity Leaders

The San Francisco Equity Leaders (SFEL) is a cohort of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) practitioners. SFEL’s members, Aaron Mullen, Anthony Witte, Betsy Brody, Flora Mugambi-Mutunga, Josephine Saunders, Loren Moyé, and Quise Rodriguez, came together in response to an ongoing need for strength in numbers in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging work. They began to reach out to one another with questions, concerns, and resources, while all working in San Francisco independent schools. They soon realized that although each school was different, each served similar populations, with similar challenges. Recognizing patterns in core elements and challenges of DEIB work, the team began to broaden their engagements to include schools, non-profit, and for-profit organizations around the Bay Area and beyond.
