What is a BIPOC ally?
A BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) ally is a person in the dominant culture who has made it their mission to become part of the solution, to stand with those who are oppressed and marginalized. To no longer being bystanders instead becoming Diversity Agents of Change up standers.

Letter of Recommendation
"I would like to recommend Derek Ewell’s qualifications for doing diversity literacy work. I am an anti-racist trainer and a facilitator and I had Derek in one of our trainings.
I understand he is now stepping out to be an diversity literacy educator. From spending several weeks with him in the training, I can easily say that he is more than qualified. He is open and full of passion as well as being compassionate. He is a consummate people person, he’s open, easy to interact with, and self revealing. This is the perfect next step for him to be doing this work himself in helping to educate others about diversity literacy and anti racism. More to the point, he is a natural.
Please feel free to contact me if you would care to talk more about Derek.
