In this report, we synthesize findings from original interviews and extensive research into what makes an effective DEI strategy, the impact of mentorship—particularly on people of color—and how to elevate equity-focused mentoring within the fields of peace, security, and foreign policy. We close with a recommendation to CRAVE mentoring opportunities by founding, joining, or supporting initiatives that: create opportunity for cross-identity contact; establish responsibility structures; cultivate social accountability for involvement; are voluntary; and engage participants in their evolution. 

A practical guide to increasing the voice share for peace and security experts of color in the media and other public spaces. This toolkit can help anyone who controls access to an organization’s public profile develop new opportunities to support and elevate thinkers, writers, and speakers of color in our communications, research, events, and advocacy.
