Dr. Azeb Kinder is an experienced educator, facilitator and trainer who works with individuals, communities and organizations to address and dismantle racially based inequities by transforming their beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors. Prior to founding The Kinder Group, Azeb was a classroom teacher, administrator, and consultant in public and charter schools for over 15 years. During her tenure in schools, she focused on educational equity and racial literacy as a means of empowering historically marginalized students and families. Her passion for racial equity began during her undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor), where she was trained in the Program on Intergroup Relations (IGR), a social justice education program that blends theory and experiential learning to facilitate students’ learning about social group identity, social inequality, and intergroup relations. She has facilitated numerous dialogue groups in schools, colleges and religious organizations and has experience creating and leading professional development for teachers, administrators, and other school staff. 

Azeb holds a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Temple University and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from Gwynedd Mercy University.
