Speaking

At Racially Conscious Collaboration™, our public speaking offerings are rooted in lived experience, proven results, and nearly two decades of leading transformative racial equity work. By the time I was 18, I was a teen father—and by 30, I was leading a school to become one of the top in our state for eliminating racial disparities. I combined that real-world leadership with doctoral studies in organizational change to identify what makes anti-racist organizations effective. From that work, I developed the Racial Equity Belief Stance™—a commitment to organizing people, resources, and institutions toward racial consciousness and intersectional equity. To grow that purpose, I founded Racially Conscious Collaboration™, which has now touched thousands of lives and supported organizations across sectors—from higher education and healthcare to corporate firms, city governments, and university counseling centers. We’ve certified over 100 leaders globally in our Racially Conscious Collaboration Tool™ for healthy cross-racial dialogue and action, and we’ve guided organizations through deep transformation using our Six Hallmarks of Effective Anti-Racist Leadership and Organizations™. When I speak, I bring the credibility of experience, the clarity of research, and the courage to move people from conversation to action.

"The experience of going through Collaborator Certification has been truly transformational on a personal and career level!  I may have earned my certification, but in the end, I feel like I gained a family of supportive collaborators whom I can lean on as we continue to strive for racial equity.

Bailey Kasten

Association Executive

Of all the DEI-related coursework I have done, nothing compares to the Racially Conscious Collaboration framework, sessions, and Collaborator certification I have dived into in the last year.  The others gave me checklists, while Racially Conscious Collaboration changed me.  I'm able to hold extended, thoughtful, and productive conversations about race thanks to tony Hudson, President, and his team.  I can't imagine doing equity work without this deep dive and comfort-building, and I cannot recommend working with Tony and Racially Conscious Collaboration enough to any leader in my circle.  So proud of this part of my journey.  Thank you to Shaundra Brown, for being a great Collaborator coach.

Shout out to my friend, my brother, and my collaborator on issues regarding race and the best person I know out there doing this work. If your agency is ready to do transformative work around race, Racially Conscious Collaboration will lead you there.

I attended Foundations of Racially Conscious Collaboration feeling extremely exhausted from the global events of the last 12 months.  Once the seminar got started Tony was highly engaging. It is highly interactive and provided a safe space for me to be reflective, give space to others and move forward in my racial consciousness.  I feel more equipped to begin the transformative work ahead of me. I highly recommend this seminar as you will learn actionable takeaways that you can apply immediately.

This is your calling Tony!!!  I spent more than three years bearing witness to your skills.  Receipts, receipts, receipts.  Sending love and respect!!!”

Truly-I feel like I could write a book about the ways in which you have been helpful to me, our organization, and with each opportunity, I have to engage with you-I feel like we are so in the right hands with you-you have this incredible ability to challenge and probe, and all in "loving accountability". 

 

I can’t wait for our sessions together as I know we are just going to go deeper and deeper; you are helping me be a better person, parent, colleague, supervisor, and, hopefully, change agent. We are So privileged to be working with you, I am so grateful!” 

 

Kim Keller

City Manager, City of St. Louis Park

I love RCC's approach to race equity work.  While many organizations feel a great urgency to have better outcomes, often limited attention is paid to building strategy and "muscle' around cross-racial dialogue.  RCC differentiates itself by taking a "yes, and" approach.  "Yes, we have to use the tools we have now to make progress.  And, we have to continually build our capacity to dive more deeply into the work and have a stronger racial analysis as we move through the world." RCC accomplishes this through a series of training and engagements, which are developed to meet people where they are, create systems of advocacy and support through the organization, and drive meaningful engagement and change.
