About Us

Our mission

The mission of the WRJI is to actively promote racial justice in our national culture and practice, as well as the wider world community, advancing inclusion and eliminating both institutional and internalized racism. We provide resources to inform and promote the work, and amplify the work of Wellesley Alums of Color to further their impact.


We seek to:

EDUCATE ourselves and the Wellesley network through courageous dialogue and informative resources;

AMPLIFY the voices of those who are working to end racism;

ACTIVATE the Wellesley network to bring about equity in their families, communities, and institutions;

TRANSFORM ourselves and our world.

Full Mission Statement

Our Work

We began as a small group of alums dissatisfied with "business-as-usual" at Reunion 2017, in a time of true racial crisis and awakening. Growing slowly, we developed our approached, did our own interpersonal anti-racism work, and began to offer programming. Then came Spring 2020 - when the suffering of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor (speak their names) exploded the interest in our work. WRJI will become a 501(c)(3) organization and hire staff in Fall 2020.

Our history - 2017-2020

Leadership Collective

Our leadership is passionate about doing the work ourselves - with one another, in our families and communities, at work and in our own hearts. All volunteers, our leaders step up and step back - taking on pieces of work as their lives permit, supported by active alums and former LC members.
