Rachael Reichenbach

Rachael Reichenbach lives in a solar-powered log cabin on 200 acres of collectively owned land, the unceded land of the Muscogee and Cherokee, in a part of Alabama delightfully known as the toenails of the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. This land is their wisest teacher. Rachael realized they were a facilitator (and began their personal journey of racial justice & healing) in 2012 in Washington, D.C. when they organized and facilitated a participant-driven consciousness raising group with and for women navigating homelessness and addiction. They have been facilitating and collaborating with others to raise our consciousness and shape change ever since. Their calling is to support white people in the process of becoming our most effective Selves towards our collective liberation through recovering & rehumanizing our Selves; facing & accepting how we have been shaped by systems of oppression; and co-creating anti-racist culture that is sane, loving, & relational. They coach individuals and support groups through the processes of disrupting internalized white superiority; furthering organizational justice, equity, diversity, & inclusion goals; and operationalizing social justice values both internally and externally. Their clients have included regional, national, and international non-profit leaders, national networks, and philanthropic institutions. They previously organized with the Poor People’s Campaign in Florida and are currently a leader in the Birmingham chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice.
