Who Is Leading This Walk?

My name is Abby Anderson. I support folks who want to embed equity and belonging principles into the fabric of their organization and leadership. The Justice Walk grew out of my desire to provide a resource I wish I’d had early in my own journey to see and undermine racism and other oppressions.

Before starting The Justice Walk, I spent nearly 20 years working in nonprofits, more than a decade of that as executive director of a CT statewide policy and advocacy organization. During that time, I experienced a reckoning, learning to see and then how to change personal and organizational policies and practices I upheld that excluded and “othered.”

I founded The Justice Walk with a commitment to use my on-going personal and professional equity and belonging growth experiences to walk with and encourage others to center those elements in their leadership. I support individuals and organizations to expand their thinking around who we see as leaders and experts, who belongs, and who we leave out of our organizations. My goal is to normalize discomfort, encourage risk-taking, and mitigate fear as I walk alongside individuals and organizations committed to implementing new ways of showing up, leading, and acting.
