DEI Consultant nuwave

Cherokee Washington is a Cultural Competency Consultant, Qualitative Researcher, and Sport Scientist. As a Baldwinian abolitionist, Cherokee has dedicated her personal, academic, and professional paths to reimagining systems of oppression through interdisciplinary means. Holding an M.A. in Sport Psychology from McGill University, as well as a B.A. in Rhetoric Studies and B.S. in Psychology from Whitman College, Cherokee specializes in the areas of cultural competency, anti-racism, intersectionality, identity politics, unpacking anti-Blackness, decolonization and reimagination, critical analysis, coach science, and social issues in sport. Originally from Los Angeles, Cherokee recently relocated to Paris, France and is currently pursuing DEI work in a European, geopolitical, and cultural context. Although she engages in DEI work with a North American positionality, Cherokee aims to better understand non-American socio-cultural politics to integrate a global perspective into her consulting. Using thoughtful questioning, radical empathy, and courageous truth-telling, Cherokee invites folks to decipher what cultural competency means to them and actively engage with ideas and means of liberation.
