UBUNTU Research and Evaluation wasfounded by dr. monique liston as a space to hold her dissertation researchfindings while protecting Black women’s intellectual thought, leadershipand vision. UBUNTU is a Bantu term that loosely translates into English, “Iam because we are.” UBUNTU was chosen because it is a word thatrepresents the core principle of UBUNTU as an organization whileconnecting us as members of the globally displaced African diaspora.Protecting the dignity of all Black people with Black women and femmes atthe lead is UBUNTU’s priority. UBUNTU was founded on January 1, 2017, Dr.John Henrik Clarke’s 102nd birthday, intentionally chosen to memorializeour intellectual genealogy within pan-African consciousness.She is a Black woman born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She is thedaughter of Ursula, granddaughter of Gracie J. and great-granddaughter ofInez. OKWUI ENWEZOR said "A collective has to be more than an ideal, andmore than communal craft; it has to be a truly social enterprise." UBUNTUstarted because monique needed a place to build beloved community notjust income. She seeks teams. She loves collaboration. Building UBUNTUmeant making a Black Collective. Being raised by a conscious-raising Blackmother, educated at Howard University and loved by a family in blood andspirit in Milwaukee -- a space birthed from monique naturally emanatedinto a Black collective. UBUNTU is a space where teams dream, challengeand build on shared values of transformation for liberation. Where onethrives, we all thrive. Where one struggles, we all practice radical empathy.The space is wrapped in joy and resistance. Previous spaces have notfulfilled this purpose and while UBUNTU is not THE answer - it is the currentiteration of our collective journey towards liberation. UBUNTU provides thespace for emergent strategies to develop and flourish.She is an experienced facilitator, evaluator and program designer with over15 years of experience in the fields of leadership, education, and publichealth. She is proud alum of Howard University with a BA in Sociology andthe University of Delaware with a Masters in Public Administration.
