Plant with intention. Grow with community.
Raíces Consulting is a research and storytelling studio for organizations working on land, community, and justice.
Rooting, pollinating, blooming
Research & archives
Oral histories, place and land histories, storymaps, and community archives that keep knowledge with the people who hold it.
Engagement design
I design the process, and your team leads it: power and asset mapping, facilitation guides, and workshops that grow your own leaders.
Communications
Bilingual stories, reports, and materials that turn research into something people act on.
Project sizes
Projects are scoped and priced by deliverable. Each one ends with materials your organization owns and can keep using.
Seed
One focused deliverable, such as a research brief, a facilitation guide, or a bilingual glossary.
About 2–4 weeks
Root System
A full project in one service line, such as an oral history set, an engagement plan with a workshop, or a public report.
About 1–3 months
Ecosystem
Multi-line work, such as a place-based study, a community archive, or a landscape study for funders.
About 3–9 months
Plant, tend, harvest
- Plant. We start with a simple question: what plant are you? Extractive, neutral, or growing in reciprocity with your neighbors?
- Tend. We co-design the scope, the timeline, and what you'll own at the end.
- Harvest. You walk away with tools, archives, and stories that are yours to keep using.
Past engagements
Past engagements include contracts in environmental justice, community outreach and engagement, and research, with organizations in Philadelphia and beyond.
Vámonos Pa'l Monte
A public art procession by artist Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz celebrating Puerto Rican culture, resilience, and migration. As a consultant, I wrote the historical facts for the procession's resistance section and the slogans for its protest signs.
