Alicia Robinson

Since 2013, Alicia Robinson has operated EdPlus Consulting to disrupt the systems that get in the way of ensuring equity, liberation, and justice, especially for Black and communities of color. She works with social impact organizations to change the conditions that hold inequitable talent management practices in place by shifting mental patterns that negatively influence what we think, say, and do. 

Committed to centering equity and operationalizing inclusivity in workplaces working for justice and liberation, Alicia’s clients understand an equitable society requires an active and ongoing commitment to examining and adjusting traditional ways of working, and believe anti-racist practices benefit all. EdPlus partners with clients at various stages of their equity journeys to provide leadership coaching and development, strategy throughout the talent life-cycle, and session facilitation and design. 

Alicia has more than fifteen years of hands-on experience in early childhood through 12th grade urban education as an instructor, non-profit manager, talent/human assets executive and career search/development coach. Prior to beginning her consulting career, Alicia served as the Chief Talent Officer at DC Prep, a charter management organization for students in preschool-8th grade ranked for multiple consecutive years as the highest performing CMO in Washington. Alicia began her career in education in 2001 as a member of the inaugural class of DC Teaching Fellows, a program of TNTP, and went on to join the founding faculty of DC Prep. She also has experience leading education talent, and equity initiatives at Washington Scholarship Fund, New Leaders for New Schools, and Flamboyan Foundation.
