About Arima Consulting

At Arima Consulting LLC, Dr. Gabby Yearwood partners with organizations and communities to deepen learning, build authentic relationships, and advance equity. His work helps clients rethink how they generate knowledge and connect across difference—because how you work matters just as much as what you do.
​
Dr. Yearwood supports reflection, growth, and systems change through a collaborative approach rooted in trust and shared purpose. Whether you're reimagining your research strategy, strengthening team dynamics, or navigating organizational transformation, he meets you where you are. He doesn’t show up with all the answers—he listens first, learns alongside you, and works with you to co-create meaningful, lasting change.
​
Grounded in an activist, community-centered ethos, Dr. Yearwood believes that real expertise is collective. He draws on the tools of social science and the values of justice, compassion, and humility to create space for inquiry, inclusion, and impact. At the heart of his philosophy is a deep commitment to the idea that knowledge is not the domain of a single expert, but something we build—together—for the common good.
Our work is grounded in the belief that transformation happens through reflection, relationships, and courageous practice. We bring a justice-centered lens to everything we do, blending community-engaged research, facilitation, and capacity-building.
