Welcome to Rooted in Love!
building
heart-centered Organizations—together.
WE DO THIS WORK BECAUSE people matter.
It can feel as though our times are more politically polarized than ever. As a result, it’s becoming harder to have the essential conversations about how to move forward in working with the diverse people you serve. That’s where we come in. Transformation doesn’t happen overnight — but every journey matters.
Rooted in Love invests in creating ecosystems of belonging—organizational and institutional cultures where connection thrives. We also work to improve interpersonal communication by focusing on radically humanizing relationships.
Our services include: keynote talks, just-in-time coaching, strategic planning support, program design and evaluation, and equity-centered trainings with heart.
THIS WORK HAS CHANGED OUR LIVES, AND CAN CHANGE
YOURS, TOO.
At Rooted in Love, Dr. Jeremiah J. Sims, Rachel Sims, M.A., and their esteemed colleagues offer a revolutionary, love-based approach to race, equity, inclusion, and justice (REIJ) coaching, training, strategy, and program development in educational and professional environments.
Renowned for this approach that centers radical inclusivity, the Sims have reimagined both equity work and difficult dialogue, empowering individuals engage on a life-long journey of transformation to effect lasting change.
While dismantling oppressive systems requires ongoing commitment, our IMPACT© toolkit is a simple way for teams to engage in justice work, even if they are new to it. The IMPACT framework functions as a catalyst for the development of an anti-racist growth mindset (ARGM) and is accessible to anyone ready to make a difference.
Whether you're taking your first steps or are a seasoned practitioner, our team at Rooted in Love is eager to connect with you.
