“Decolonization calls us to recognize how colonization nearly destroyed people, families, and communities based on global systems of white supremacy.”
- Stephanie A. Kimou
How We Work:
PopWorks Africa is unique because we take a holistic approach to institutional transformation. We believe that when institutions learn together, they are better positioned to develop strategies that reflect this learning.
Nothing happens in a silo, particularly the development of interventions that impact Black women, a population of nuanced, diverse, intersectional, and traditionally marginalized and erased people.
To truly serve Black women and gender-expansive people, we work with clients in 2 main ways:
Learning + Unlearning
PWA facilitates 1-12 month bespoke learning journeys crafted to define and illuminate terms like decolonization, intersectionality, solidarity, anti-racism, and other principles fueling our collective transformation.
We couple unique lectures, electronic resources, communal reflection spaces, and individual reflection exercises to unearth discomfort, confusion, and sometimes anger, all fertile ground for learning.
Strategy + Framework Development
PWA leverages our bespoke institutional learning journeys to support our clients in developing strategies and frameworks for:
Unearthing manifestations of racism or colonization.
Identifying near-term and long-term actions for dismantling these manifestations.
Leading support on implementing modalities for dismantling institutional norms identified as problematic to internal staff and communities served.
Who We Are
We are a network of independent consultants dedicated to resourcing Black women, femmes, and gender-expansive folks.
