About Rainbow

As a facilitator, Rainbow Markell has worked with thousands of people in communication, anti-racism, DEIB, and trauma-informed care. Most of those people have been under the age of 5! As an Early Care and Education provider, Rainbow learned to implement Active Listening and the importance of social-emotional health for the children, and finds work with adults is surprisingly similar. As a white womon, Rainbow believes in saying yes to any opportunity that comes her way to be anti-racist, to unlearn bias, show compassion and make a difference in the world. It has only been recently that she has applied these concepts to herself.
