You did it!
Congratulations on completing the survey! Below you will find your persona report which gives more insights about where your organization might be needing support and guidance in developing knowledge, skills, and values in justice and equity work. The following persona is a suggestion for where your organization may be in their journey, and it might not fully capture the needs, motivations, and/or challenges your organization is experiencing.
Practicing Panthers
Like panthers who move with agility and focus, your organization has been on its justice and equity journey for some time. You have strategic and embedded practices across your organization, yet get stuck in the pressures that the systems around you uphold. It’s constant work to keep alive the values and practices you’ve created. Similar to the panther who moves in a zig-zag pattern, you know this work isn’t linear and your organization shows both humility and boldness in how it moves on its journey.
