Our Impact

We’re thrilled to publish our first-ever Impact Statement, Embrace the Possible. It’s a window into our EmbraceRace community, including details about who we are, what we do, and where we plan to go.

Insights from our community

The EmbraceRace community grew substantially in 2020 as parents, educators and caregivers grappled with the realities of the coronavirus pandemic and its disproportionate impact on communities of color, and as the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others brought renewed attention to the scourge of police brutality.

Each year, EmbraceRace conducts a survey to understand how our work is influencing parents, educators and caregivers. Highlights from our 2020 survey, with almost 700 respondents, point to the ways in which engaging with EmbraceRace enhances caregivers’ knowledge, skills and motivation with respect to children’s racial learning.
