Gerald Lenoir collaborates with these and other consultants to provide a fuller range of services to his clients.
Linda Burnham has worked for decades as an activist, writer, strategist, and organizational consultant focused on women’s rights and anti-racism. She works with social justice organizations that are committed to intentionally and systematically integrating racial justice and gender justice frameworks and values into organizing, advocacy and communications. Her writing and organizing are part of a lifelong inquiry into the dynamic, often perilous intersections of race, class and gender. She has worked as a consultant on organizational and board development, strategic planning and staff development with a wide range of organizations, including Atlantic Philanthropies, Center for Community Change, Community Coalition, The Black Scholar, Black Alliance for Just Immigration, East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, Family Values at Work, Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, Southern Human Rights Organizing Network and Urgent Action Fund.
Linda is also the National Research Coordinator for the National Domestic Women’s Alliance and was a co-founder and former executive director of the Women of Color Resource Center. She was a leader in the Third World Women’s Alliance, an organization that grew out of a women’s caucus of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and that, early on, challenged the women’s movement to incorporate issues of race and class into the feminist agenda. Linda has written extensively on topics of Black politics and women’s rights. In 2009, she edited the anthology, “Changing the Race: Racial Politics and the Election of Barack Obama.” She is a frequent featured speaker on college campuses and to community groups, addressing issues of women’s rights, racial justice, human rights and peace.
Linda has also practiced and taught yoga for decades and is an avid student of African and African diasporic dance.

In 1969, Bob participated in the Third World Strike that led to the formation of Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He later taught in that department and briefly chaired the Asian American Studies program. A Chinese American, Wing was part of the first wave of Asian American activism in the late 1960s. Since then he has been immersed in many intense and conscious efforts to theorize and to build multi-racial unity and to connect issues of war, racism and politics.
