Lakaya Renfrow

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager

Lakaya Renfrow (she/her) is a passionate diversity, equity, and inclusion professional. As Arcora’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) manager, Lakaya partners with Arcora staff and leadership so DEI is front and center, ensuring that a DEI approach is included in all our work. This includes leading organizational change efforts to build a more diverse, equitable and inclusive culture.

Lakaya’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion has been a central component of her life for as long as she can remember. She strives to live with a purpose, where the work she does has a positive impact on historically marginalized communities furthest from social and health justice.

Prior to joining Arcora, Lakaya served as the director of diversity at the Evergreen School. She received her bachelor’s degree from Michigan State University, where she focused on Title IX and gender equity in sports. She received her master’s degree from Georgetown University where she focused on international relations and how communities reconcile and heal from post-racial violence and trauma.

During her free time, Lakaya enjoys spending time with her toddler and finding different adventures to go on in Seattle and the surrounding areas.
