About Kinda

Kinda Abdus-Saboor is a Senior Lecturer of Law at Georgia State University College of Law, where she teaches juvenile law and lawyering seminars focused on reflection and professional identity formation.   Her research focuses on the role of reflection and self-awareness in developing strategies for social change, especially eliminating racial bias and developing racial equity within workplace environments and other collaborative spaces.

Putting her research into practice, Kinda facilitates unconscious bias workshops and training focusing on the intersection of racial bias and self-awareness.  Through introspective exercises, collaborative conversation and solution-oriented framework, she challenges her audience to critically examine and unpack their identity, its strengths and its limitations, its benefits and its biases.  Ultimately,  Kinda equips participants with intentional strategies to solve small-scale and institutional-level problems, identifying and tackling personal and systemic bias along the way.  She believes her work is only the beginning and encourages participants to continue their journey to mobilize lasting change within themselves and their respective spaces.

Kinda also consults and collaborates with individuals, teams, and organizations to develop strategies within their spaces that foster racial equity. Together they work to implement culturally-cognizant programming and standards that address individual and systemic bias and support equitable environments.

Kinda received a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Arabic, from Emory University where she graduated magna cum laude.  She then earned her J.D. from Emory University School of Law as a Henry Bowden Scholar.  She practiced family law at a small boutique firm for several years before becoming a law professor and committed change-maker.
