Juanita Capri Brown

Founder

Juanita’s life work is the transformation of individuals, relationships, and groups towards greater interconnectedness, equity and liberation. She designs and facilitates processes and experiences to help people, in their respective spheres of influence and interest, operationalize the question: ‘What would Love & Deep Regard do here (in policy and practice)?’ She supports the public and non-profit sectors, foundations, local government, schools and communities across the nation and internationally to undertake breakthrough approaches.

Her work in the US and abroad (Latin America, Africa and Europe) has resulted in staff, students, residents, educators and executives more productively agitating systems and transforming relationships in their realms of influence.

Juanita is also an artist. She wrote, produced and performed a multimedia one-person show which she offered in 2019 in Oakland, CA. Juanita co-produced the Emmy-nominated PBS documentary Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North in which she was instrumental in facilitating some of the film’s racial dialogues. After the film’s debut at Sundance Film Festival, she co-founded the Tracing Center on Histories and Legacies of Slavery and served on its founding board of directors.

As a dancer and choreographer, Juanita understands the body as a site of ineffable intelligence and beauty. A published writer, she is working on her first book.

Juanita received her undergraduate degree from Stanford. She then earned her Master of Public Policy from the Goldman School at the University of California at Berkeley, where she later designed and taught at the graduate level.

A Chicago native, Juanita cherishes her family roots which run deep in the state of Alabama.
