rust isn't one-size-fits-all. What builds trust for you might break it for someone else. Culture, power, context, and identity shape everything about how we trust—yet most tools ignore these dynamics entirely.

This gap is holding us back. Without understanding trust's complexity, we fragment relationships, splinter coalitions, and stall the progress toward collective liberation.

The Trust Compass changes that. It's a practical tool for navigating trust and repair by asking better questions about what's really happening in our relationships.

Four Dimensions of Trust:

🔹 Identities: How does who we are shape how we build and repair trust?

🔹 Contexts: What histories, politics, and geographies shape our relationships?

🔹 Values: Where do our values align or conflict—and what does that mean for trust?

🔹 Positionalities: How do power and privilege impact who and how we trust?

The Trust Compass won't do the work for you—but it will help you see what you're navigating. You might have integrity, but what power dynamics are at play? You might be honest, but what does honesty require when navigating race and privilege?

This is a navigational tool for the relationships that matter most: with yourself, your organization, and the movements rebuilding a more just world.
