Our Approach
Our Story
For centuries, Indigenous communities have seen the quetzal, a majestically vibrant bird and one of the most beautiful in the world, as a symbol of freedom and creative energy, dying when held in captivity. Like the quetzal, our Black and Brown students need spaces of freedom where their creativity and potential can thrive; like quetzales, they are sacred and precious.
Systemic and institutional oppression prevent the complete self-actualization of Black and Brown communities. In response, three experienced educators founded Quetzal Education Consulting to break down those barriers.
As teacher-leaders, administrators, and community organizers, we have an impactful history of creating effective spaces for students and teachers of Color. As a Black, Indigenous, and woman-owned firm, we work with anyone wanting to better meet the needs of students, teachers, and families of Color.
