“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.” – Martin Luther King Jr. | We honor Dr. King’s legacy on this day and always, as all of our movement leaders before us have modeled what it takes to create change that is racially equitable.

We are thrilled to announce Michelle Wonsley-Ford as CRJE’s new Executive Director.
Michelle comes to CRJE with a nuanced and deep race analysis, an inclusive leadership sensibility and approach, a well-developed business acumen, and a contagious energy that is inspiring and dynamic. Over her career, she has focused on developing a critical racial equity analysis of theory, history, and contemporary events; understanding organizations both as systems and communities; and coaching competency-based behavior change to create racially just institutions.She has held executive positions in and also consulted to both local and national non-profits, primarily focused in the consulting, education and non-profit management sectors. Most recently, Michelle served as Senior Vice President, People Operations, at DonorsChoose.org, and then as founder of LondonPlane Advisory, a consultancy that supports senior leaders in education to develop racial equity leadership competence.Michelle is also a proud alumna of Prep for Prep, The Brearley School, and Management Leadership for Tomorrow. She is a past President of the Junior League of Brooklyn and is currently a board member for the Sadie Nash Leadership Project, a program dedicated to empowering the leadership of young women and non-binary youth. Michelle earned a BA in Literature from Spelman College, and both an MBA and a Masters in Industrial and Labor Relations, with a labor economics concentration from Cornell University, where she was a Roy H. Park Leadership Fellow and SUNY ILR Fellow, engaged in an individualized course of study on effective and ethical leadership.
Please join us in welcoming Michelle to the CRJE community!
