Narratives are powerful, common frames and stories that help us make sense of a complex world. They shape our values, decisions and understanding of what is possible. But pervasive narratives in our society enable people to justify inequities, undermine efforts to combat structural racism, and perpetuate harm on communities of color. We collaborated with field partners to explore changing narratives that hinder racial equity efforts in the private sector. And across all of our initiatives, we focus on shifting beliefs to advance new ways of working that undo racial inequities.
