Building Bridges, Removing Barriers: An Urgent Call to Action Summit
Join us as we address the pressing issue of systemic oppression affecting Black children, youth, families, and communities. Save the Date, December 2025
One month ago, Joyce James Consulting hosted a gathering of dedicated child welfare advocates at the inaugural “Building Bridges, Removing Barriers” Summit. For one full day, we assessed the state of our nation’s child welfare system, and evaluated evidence proving how the system persists in having a negative impact on Black children, families, and communities. More broadly, we discussed how institutional racism continues to impede the progress of Black people in virtually every helping system.
We will not cease in our efforts to hold systems accountable for the harm they inflict.
If you attended our Summit, we want to hear from you as we plan our next conference. Did the Summit meet your expectations? Did you leave with increased knowledge and understanding of the impact of institutional and structural racism on Black children, youth, families, communities? Were you inspired? We invite you to take a few moments to complete our feedback form. Your insight will help ensure that this Summit strengthens our goal to achieve equity and justice for all.
We help your organization achieve its vision for racial equity.
Our technical assistance and training focuses on systemic rather than individual factors which inhibit your ability to achieve your vision for racial equity.
