The Black and The Red Consulting Group
In addition to individual consulting, Marissiko is also an Executive Consultant with The Black and The Red Consulting Group. A team of consultants that coach organizations to move closer to racial justice through the lens of interrogating anti-blackness and decolonization.
Mission: Very rarely do institutions fully acknowledge that white power and privilege remains pervasive within their walls and exists to no small degree on the cumulative wealth built by Land stolen from Indigenous people and Lives stolen from enslaved Black people. This original taking of livelihood, liberties and opportunities continues through subtle and overt practices in these institutions. Furthermore, the damage of prejudice extends to other populations based on ethnicity, gender, physical abilities and more. Thus, our work has a deep understanding of oppressed identities and the complex intersectionalities in their liberation.
