Cynthia Sarver, PhD, is an educator, innovator, trainer, and coach who is committed to continuously (and compassionately) interrogating white privilege and white supremacy in herself, others, and the systems she encounters. By leveraging her overlapping expertisein adult education, organization development, systems thinking, and critical and constructivist pedagogies, Cynthia leads individuals and groups through developing awareness of power and privilege towards taking transformative action and designing and implementing anti-racist policies and practices. She has worked for over two decades in California, New York, and Minnesota with a variety of institutions, organizations, and leaders in nonprofit, faith-community, and P-20 educational settings. There she has crafted and honed trainings and curricula designed to help majority-white groups and communities grapple with the unique challenges they face as they develop their capacity for acting as allies and accomplices to BIPOC-led anti-racist efforts. Since the uprising in Minneapolis, Cynthia has been deeply listening to organizers in George Floyd Square and the Central, Bryant, and Powderhorn neighborhoods to inform her organizing in her majority-white neighborhood and her faith community, where she has been advancing racial equity since moving to the Twin Cities five years ago. Cynthia also designs websites for emerging social innovators according to gift-economy principles through Pollen8 Design. She has a PhD in anti-racist literature, a Master's in Educational Technology, and both a teaching and a Cultural Language and Academic Development (CLAD) certification from the State of California. Cynthia lives in South Minneapolis with her husband, 14-year old son, and their dog.
