Equity Over Everything (EOE) specializes in equity audits, consultations, and education/training of individuals, businesses, and organizations. EOE has a sincere passion for facilitating organizations through policy, practice, and procedural changes that advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Our Approach

As an equity advocate, Equity Over Everything  strives to always create a safe environment in which our clients can see themselves more clearly. This allows us to identify gaps between where your organization is and where you want and/or need to be as it relates to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This lends itself to us creating SMART goals and action plans that often require a shift in behavior and habits. These goals and plans then become the guiding structure for your accountability and shape our work together.
