Tracey Rollins Spann, LMSW is passionate about using her energy to influence and shepherd individuals and organizations to discover, develop, and amplify their potential to positively impact the world in which we live. Tracey completed the National Association of Black Social Workers’ National Academy for African Centered Social Work, and Undoing Racism® by The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond. It was through these courses that Tracey really began to understand how deeply systemic racism and oppression impact people and communities of color in the United States and abroad. She is committed to helping organizations and individuals understand what it means to be anti-racist, and how they can shift their thinking and practice to truly provide equitable opportunities and programs. Tracey believes in the power of UBUNTU – “I am because we are, and because we are, therefore I am”. Our connectedness to one another makes us who we are. Without one another, we would not be able to accomplish our goals. By combining the strength of Ubuntu, the knowledge provided by comprehensive and accurate data, well developed operational systems, accountability, and thoughtful, focused decision-making, we can move mountains.
