To structurally address racism, ableism, sexism, dehumanization and anti-Blackness, we must equip people with the proper tools to dismantle, disrupt and demand more within organizations. To get to this healthy work environment, we need a completely different approach.
Belonging, Dignity and Justice
Decolonize Design offers organizations exactly this, one inspired by humanity’s most precious and universal values: Belonging, Dignity and Justice (BDJ).
We define these terms as:
Belonging is one’s physical, emotional and psychological safety; the indescribable feeling of being welcome.
Dignity is one of the most universal concepts to describe the sacred nature of each individual’s personhood.
Justice is the repairing and restoring of individuals.
