Angela Bruce-Raeburn

Angela Bruce-Raeburn is the founder of DiverseDEV, a consultancy designed to support international development organizations, nongovernmental organizations and civil society groups working to improve the lives of marginalized people anywhere in the world. Angela is committed to issues around public health and their impact on vulnerable populations, previously serving as the regional advocacy director at the Global Health Advocacy Incubator — which focused on building advocates for prevention of noncommunicable diseases that impact low- and middle-income countries. Prior to that, she worked from 2010 to 2013 as the senior policy advisor for the humanitarian response in Haiti at Oxfam in the aftermath of the earthquake.

Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Angela grew up in Brooklyn, New York. The immigrant experience drove her interest and commitment to choosing a career where she would be able to impact the lives of vulnerable people. In 2006, she received a Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Fellowship with a work placement in the office of former CBC Chairperson, Congresswoman Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick from Michigan. Angela received two Rotary International Fellowships to include the Rotary International Peace Fellowship, which supported graduate study in conflict resolution at the University of Bradford in England.

A fluent French speaker, Angela holds three master’s degrees — in public administration, peace studies and conflict resolution — and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. Angela has written op-eds on development, race and privilege, including But Wait Until They See Your Black Face and International Development Has a Race Problem.
