Warm greetings. I'm Ukumbwa Sauti (oo-KOOM-bwah sah-OO-tee) and I am an independent Consultant, Educator, Facilitator, also providing 1-to-1 guidance and counsel on issues of anti-racism, anti-patriarchy, Men's Work, consent and culture. I assist groups, communities, organizations and individuals in manifesting deepening awareness, development and embodied, relational social justice work. My goal is to support all communities I am able to in their collective and individual growth as I engage my own in the process.
This work is intensely important and personal for me. My lived experience as an African in America, a cis heterosexual+ man has brought me into awareness of differing levels and sources of abuses of power, whether interpersonally or systemically. What many of us are seeing and experiencing in our current political and social challenges, whether we are being targeted and/or are complicit with varied intersectional expressions of oppressive power, are formations of historical and present dynamics. These serious challenges require us to take committed time and effort to engage, face with authenticity and integrity, feel emotionally and in other embodied ways, while opening up pathways to justice, liberation and healing.
I invite you, others that you feel and know would benefit from engaging in this work with me toward social justice and personal growth to contact me. (information following)
This work is informed by my lived and deeply considered personal and communal experiences and also decades of leading, co-leading and participating in cultural and political actions, groups and organizations with youth and adults within the African diasporan/Black community and across cultural, gendered, class and spiritual environments. Sixteen years of teaching racial, gendered, political, environmental and technological dynamics through the lens of cultural media studies was foundational to my development in this work.
Opportunities include 1-to-1 or small group video call sessions, larger group video workshops and in-person discussions, presentations and workshops for groups, communities, schools, higher education and organizations.
