Tema Okun

Tema Okun is an American anti-racism educator and consultant best known for articulating the 'white supremacy culture' framework in the Dismantling Racism Workbook (co-authored with Kenneth Jones), which lists organizational habits such as perfectionism, urgency, and quantity over quality as manifestations of white supremacy culture.

Created and popularized the 'white supremacy culture' characteristics framework — a list of organizational behaviors framed as rooted in white supremacy — which became the dominant framework in corporate and nonprofit DEI programs in the 2020s.
