Interim Chief Operating Officer
Anyania Muse (ahn-ya-nigh-ah)—she/her/hers—joined OSF’s leadership team in April 2021 in the newly evolved role of Director of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA). Muse provides vision and strategy for the integration of IDEA into all facets of OSF’s operations—which includes the design, communication, execution, and monitoring of programs and initiatives that actively promote and foster a radically inclusive culture that is anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-homophobic, and anti-ableist at the company.
Muse is well known throughout the San Francisco Bay Area for her growing body of work in equity and inclusion. In her most recent role as Director of Equity for Marin County, Muse developed, led, and implemented program initiatives to target and dismantle existing systems of oppression within the County, while helping to build and evolve anti-racist frameworks across 22 departments with over 2,700 employees, including but not limited to the County Administrator’s Office, Cultural Services, Children and Family Services, Public Health, and Parks. This includes but is not limited to: launching of a county-wide “Equity Champions” program, partnering with Marin Community Foundation to create the first Universal Basic Income Demonstration providing participants $1,000 per month for 24 months, ensuring ongoing communication and engagement with communities of color in Marin, advocating for equity data collection in Health and Human Services programs, initiating and supporting application of a racial equity lens to the COVID response, and leading the Equity Capacity Building and Community Empowerment Action Teams of the Health and Human Services Department Strategic Plan to achieve health and wellness equity.
Muse has dedicated her career to helping target strengths, issues, and opportunities surrounding a model of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Belonging, and Access (DEIBA) as entry points to develop strategies and plans for engagement that allow organizations to dismantle barriers to becoming anti-racist. She earned her BA from Mills College, and an MA in Educational Leadership, Non-Profit/Public/Organizational Management, also from Mills College.
