Maranda Richardson, MPPA

Founder + Principal

After spending over fifteen years in public health, social services, and philanthropy, I decided it was time to be intentional and explicit about the work.  My last five years in philanthropy felt like a whirlwind but in hindsight, it led me to my most impactful work.

Over the past seven years, I have been fortunate to be able to commit my efforts to supporting the elevation and transformation of Black people specifically but not exclusively.  As a leader in the field, prioritizing this work while shifting the narrative has created opportunities to center equity, build community and create transformational change.  

When I am not working, you can find me honoring my time through fellowship with family and friends, engaging in physical activity, and/or exploring the world.

Nel Andrews
Consultant

I have centered my 20-year career around a commitment to racial justice and advancing equity and inclusion in systems and organizations. As an independent consultant and coach I leverage my experiences in non-profit leadership and large-scale public system reform efforts.

Seven years ago, I became vigorously interested in contributing to the endeavor of aligning mission-driven organizational goals and results with organizational health and function, by building workplace cultures that are models for actualizing justice, equity, inclusion, and belonging. My approach centers the people most impacted, for our only hope for collective liberation is to resource the communities that have long endured the devastation caused by systems of oppression.

I live in Baltimore City with my partner, Jackie, and our daughter, Eli.
