In 2020, companies, nonprofits and other organizations tripped over themselves to establish diversity, equity and inclusion committees, initiatives and goals, largely in response to the police murder of George Floyd. But it’s one thing to talk the talk, and an entirely different thing to walk the walk. Enter: Valerie Zolezzi-Wyndham and her company, Promoting Good.

It’s one thing to release statements, but when business leaders want to do the proverbial work, many of them, in Central Massachusetts and beyond, they call Zolezzi-Wyndham.
What do you think the future holds for Central Mass.? “Central Massachusetts could be an inclusive community that equitably and respectfully embraces the leadership of and voices of communities of color. This future requires business, public sector, and nonprofit leaders, and community members across Central Massachusetts to commit to accountable action for equity.”
