As a social worker, daughter, racial equity strategist, Black Latina, community organizer, friend, and activist, founder Ismalis Nuñez brings her full self to her work at Anew Collective. Standing side by side in this shared humanity, Ismalis derives joy and meaning from getting to know and learn from her clients as she works with them to find ways to thrive in systems instead of just survive. With a deep understanding of the historical trauma at the root of racial oppression and a focus on the intersectionality of liberation, Anew Collective seeks to co-create space for individuals and groups to feel empowered to work toward something greater – maybe unimaginable – a whole new system and way of showing up in the world. At Anew, we believe that the work of transforming the world begins with transforming ourselves.
