Hear from Endura’s partners

“My name is Marissa, I am a registered dietitian, anti-racism educator, and executive leader, who is passionate about the intersection between anti-racism & the systems within which we work, live, and play. For the past few years I have been working at this intersection with a focus on food sovereignty, equity, and bringing diverse voices together toward common goals. I started UpRoot Consulting because as a Black woman, leader, healthcare professional, and queer person, I feel it is important to normalize conversations about anti-racism, oppression, and how we may be unintentionally upholding white supremacy.

I’ve had the privilege of working closely with Vash on several projects that center on creating more equitable and just healthcare systems. Our partnership is rooted in a shared commitment to anti-racism and addressing systemic inequities that affect marginalized communities.

What sets Endura Consulting apart is their deeply collaborative approach—grounded in humility, active listening, and a genuine desire to co-create solutions that empower communities rather than impose them. Working with Endura is both refreshing and inspiring because they don’t shy away from tough conversations or complex challenges. Instead, they create brave spaces where innovation and accountability go hand-in-hand. Together, we’ve been able to foster meaningful change in healthcare spaces, and I’m grateful for their partnership in this work."
