Nurturing Diverse Communities
Nurturing Diversity Partners fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion within institutions and communities. We educate groups about the history, sociocultural dynamics, personal and interpersonal skills, and organizational practices that build an equitable society.
Build your:
- Historical and cultural literacy
- Ability to communicate cross-culturally
- Empathy for others’ lived experiences
- Capacity to act for racial repair and reconciliation
We specialize in helping audiences understand important issues in contemporary race relations, especially the under-told history and present day realities of African Americans and other marginalized groups in the US. We address the questions: How did we get here and what can we do to build a healthy future for all?
Milwaukee Magazine recently recognized Nurturing Diversity Partners with a UNITY Award!

Who We Are
We believe our country is currently experiencing a uniquely “teachable time” in its journey towards realizing its founding ideals of liberty and justice for all.
Reggie Jackson & Dr. Fran Kaplan formed Nurturing Diversity Partners to advance and support that journey by using methods they’ve honed over many years to build bridges from our past to our future across racial/ethnic, urban/suburban/rural, generational, and other divides.
Fran & Reggie have been doing this type of work together for over a decade. Reggie is a sought-after speaker, researcher, and writer, with a deep, comprehensive knowledge of how our country’s racial hierarchy developed historically and its impact on our lives today. Dr. Fran has spent fifty-five years working against poverty and for social justice and peace locally, nationally, and internationally. A social change “entrepreneur,” she has founded and led multiple organizations. You can learn more about Fran and Reggie here.
We look forward to partnering with organizations and individuals who seek to join the journey toward equity and build bridges together.
