Esperanza Tervalon-Garrett | Dancing Hearts, Consulting Power (Juneteenth Special) - a podcast by PDX Black Rose

Esperanza Tervalon-Garrett from Dancing Hearts Consulting (@Dancingheartsconsulting) joins us on the PDX Black Rose Podcast for great conversation about the Census, Blackness in Oregon, and adapting Juneteenth to a livestream during COVID-19.  She is a queer, Afro-Puerto Rican woman, and a native daughter of Oakland, California. She is the founder and CEO of Dancing Hearts Consulting, LLC, a progressive consulting firm that curates innovative ideas, programs, and campaigns to challenge the status quo and test emerging strategies that change the political game to win long-term change for the people most impacted by systemic oppression. Esperanza was the first woman of color to lead a 501c3, 501c4 & PAC collaborative civic engagement formation focused on mobilizing progressive voters of color in the United States. Her ability to build grassroots power in neighborhoods, at the ballot box, and at City Hall has earned her solid reputation as a savvy electoral strategist, a seasoned political organizer, and a power-building innovator among Social Justice activists and Philanthropic leaders.

Esperanza is the Co-Chair of the Funders Committee for Civic Participation, a network of civic engagement institutions that move $170M to the field each year. She is also serving as the Statewide Campaign Manager for the Oregon Hard to Count Census Campaign that aims to engage 1M people. Esperanza is married to wife Christine and her proudest accomplishment is her brilliant and tenacious son, Santiago. They live at Dancing Hearts Ranch, a 16-acre ranch, in the Cascade Mountains of Southern Oregon.

About Dancing Hearts Consulting

Dancing Hearts Consulting (DHC) is a progressive political consulting firm that curates innovative ideas, programs, and campaigns to challenge the status quo and test emerging strategies that change the political game to win long-term change for the people. DHC was launched in June of 2017 by civic engagement innovator, philanthropic trouble-maker, and political operative, Esperanza Tervalon-Garrett. Our strategies amplify the impact of the political response of front-line activists in the Trump Era - and the funders who support them.   In order to transform the lives of everyday people, DHC crafts values-driven campaigns that build political power for those most impacted by systemic oppression: Black people, women of color, immigrants, formerly incarcerated people, and LGBTQIA folks. We partner with social justice and philanthropic leaders to create a more reflective, responsive, and accountable American democracy.
