Learn our Story.
Radicle Root Collective (RRC) was founded by Jo Brownson and Taquelia Washington. Jo and Taquelia are long time friends who have each had their own separate journey in creating sole proprietorships that focus on racial justice and healing inside of organizational change processes. Many years ago, they began to dream together about what it would be like to merge their work and passions together and introduce them to the world. This dream came to fruition in 2019 as Tangled Roots and EmpowerMe! Services began collaborating on their first projects together. In 2020, Jo and Taquelia began to take active steps toward transforming their collaboration into an entity of its own. From there, Radicle Root Collective was born.
