UBUNTU Research and Evaluation is an Afrofuturist strategic learning organization powered by a collective of unapologetic Black women, femmes, and non-binary people working as un-disciplinary strategists committed to resistance against anti-Blackness and the intellectual and political defense of all Black people, in solidarity with the Global Majority, through facilitation, organizational strategy, and evaluation.

Our existence as an organization means that we antagonize an anti-Black, anti-Indigenous, anti-Queer, anti-Femme, and anti-Fat world.

We utilize dignity as a framework for understanding the relationships between inequities and solutions.

1. We acknowledge that no matter the well-intentioned circumstances, we as Black women will encounter some form of anti-Black harm while executing the work outlined in this agreement.

2. We work within the contradiction of recognizing that capitalism is the system that shapes this agreement and it is the same system that we are working in solidarity with other organizations to abolish.

3. We are aware that our independent business efforts within a capitalist system slightly reduces the harm we regularly face due to economic, political, and physical violence but we engage it for the amount of safety, no matter how slight, it provides.

4. We seek to liberate others and ourselves from systemic oppression. Our long-term goal could never be accomplished under this or any other contract agreement yet we continue to advocate for and work towards a world we need and deserve.

5. We prioritize virtual and/or work-from-home arrangements that support the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of our staff.
