It is important to SEC that we recognize that the work we do is on the ancestral lands of many indigenous tribes, communities, and peoples who were systematically and intentionally removed via violence and genocide. Please take a moment to learn about the lands you are currently inhabiting and the history of those lands.

Suazo Equity Consulting was started in 2022 after noticing the growing need for community learning and justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) training. Many 4 Corners institutions, organizations, non-profits, and businesses have seen the need to reshape and grow in their JEDI capacity. With the ever changing world, it is imperative our businesses and local organizations reflect not only our stakeholders, but the communities we serve. Suazo Equity Consulting is here to support you with just that. Individualized workshops, policy review options, and training facilitations are just some of the ways our consultants are here to work with you. See below to meet our Team.
