CURE partners with people and organizations to cultivate pathways for racial equity, justice, community healing and well-being. We weave the power of research and strategic action to enable transformative change in organizations, institutions and communities.

CURE envisions a just society where systemic inequities no longer exist and Black and Brown communities are fully thriving, experiencing optimal well-being and liberation.

We believe a just society where we can all thrive requires a sustained commitment to reparative policies, practices and systems that create equity, belonging and opportunity. Since 2018, CURE has worked locally and nationally with client partners including organizations, coalitions, philanthropy and government agencies to nurture this vision through collaborations that:

Catalyze

Catalyze Research and Ideas for Action through data and analysis that highlight innovative and community-driven solutions to health, housing, economic and social inequities.

Transform

Transform Institutions and Organizations through assessments, trainings, tools and capacity building to operationalize intersectional racial equity and programs that support the sustainability of BIPOC changemakers.

Promote

Promote Equitable Policies and Community Change that have the greatest potential for eliminating racial injustices and restoring wholeness to marginalized communities.

Our Logo

Our logo represents possibilities for healing, regeneration and change — created at the intersection of ideas, people, culture, and unity of purpose.

Our Values

We ground our work in the following values:

Racial Justice

We lead with race, name and challenge anti-Blackness, and lift up intersectional racial equity as a value and practice necessary for creating the just future we all deserve.

Collaboration

We believe in equitable partnerships and strong relationships built on mutual care and respect, proactive and honest communication, responsiveness, and creativity and flexibility to respond to new and emerging opportunities to make racial equity possible.

Accountability

We acknowledge our mistakes and opportunities to learn from them, honor shared timelines and goals, and support partners and communities in developing structures for promoting transparency, tracking progress and accountability.

Self-Determination

We believe in people and community power and honor the strengths, wisdom and agency of systemically marginalized communities.

Community Care

We value respect, intentionality, spaciousness, rest, and self- and community care as part of the work of advancing racial equity and justice.

Ongoing Learning and Knowledge Sharing

Practicing racial equity and working for justice and liberation is a lifelong practice. We are committed to ongoing learning and knowledge sharing that builds the capacity to bring forth equity and justice among our team members, partners and communities that we serve.

Judy Lubin

Dr. Judy is an applied sociologist, racial equity changemaker, yoga and mindfulness practitioner, author, auntie, bestie and beach lover. Judy’s elemental nature is water, and with her she brings calming, reflective energy to hold space for deep listening, inner work and transformative dialogue. 

The curator of the Embodied Justice program, she hosts the accompanying podcast and co-facilitates events and dialogues focused on the collective healing and sustainability of Black changemakers.

At CURE, Dr. Judy has built transformative racial equity frameworks and change management processes that have impacted thousands of lives. She began her career focused on health disparities, recognizing that stress from societal racism can become embodied and manifested through “weathering” that prematurely ages the body and shortens the lifespan of racially marginalized communities. 

She is unapologetically committed to centering Black people and the communities that have inspired her life’s work. The daughter of Haitian immigrants, she grew up in South Florida surrounded by music, her grandmother’s herbal garden, and the struggle to make it in a country that saw her family as outsiders. 

In 2022, after experiencing multiple health emergencies coupled with burnout from the intensity of the “racial reckoning” that increased demand for CURE’s racial equity services, Judy began a process of listening to the wisdom of her body, healing old trauma wounds, and reclaiming rest and her love of mind-body healing. During this time she explored somatics, indigenous and and ancestral healing practices and earned certifications in multiple healing modalities including yoga and energy medicine.

Emerging from a place of rest and listening to what her soul wanted to share, she now weaves mindfulness, body-awareness and spiritual activism to support changemakers and organizations to regenerate their leadership and give to the world from a place of ease and wholeness. 

Long committed to promoting women’s health and wellness, she is the author of The Heart of Living Well: Six Principles for a Life of Health, Beauty and Balance.

Shawn J. Moore

Residing at the intersection of leadership and mindfulness, Shawn creates sacred spaces for stillness and self-inquiry to help social impact leaders align their strengths, intention, and impact. Through his integrative approach, he holds transformative containers for self-renewal, personal discovery, and capacity-building that ease clients on their journey towards peace, clarity, and freedom.

Shawn is committed to empower changemakers to become embodied leaders – unified in mind, body, and heart – with the tools to mindfully pause, reconnect to their inner knowing, make strengths-driven decisions, and lead the change they believe the world needs.  

Reckoning with his own contemplation of burnout, purpose, and alignment, Shawn transitioned out of his role as Associate Dean of Student Life & Leadership at Morehouse College in the fall of 2021 to focus more on mindfulness and stillness-based training programs and workshops. 

While leadership resonates with him deeply, it is his personal and spiritual practices that allows him to continue to show up for himself and others. He is a yoga teacher (E-RYT® 200, RYT® 500, YACEP®), sound and reiki practitioner, meditation teacher, Yoga Nidra facilitator, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, all focused through a Buddhist lens and 17 years of personal practice. He has contributed workshops, practices, and educational opportunities for celebrities like Questlove and Dyllón Burnside, and various yoga studios and colleges, Yoga International, Omstars, Melanin Moves Project, the Human Rights Campaign, Spotify and Lululemon. He currently serves as the Facilitation and Community Manager for BEAM (Black Emotional & Mental Health Collective).

Shawn hosts a podcast called The Mindful Rebel® Podcast that creates a platform to continually explore this unique intersection of leadership and mindfulness. Find him on instagram @shawnj_moore
