Najla Gomez
she/her
Najla Gomez is an organizer, coach, and consultant with over 12 years of experience in social justice movements. As an immigrant Xicana woman deeply influenced by Black feminism, she believes true liberation requires dismantling all systems of oppression. Her approach is bold, affirming, iterative, and emergent—integrating politics, spirituality, and deep relational practice.
Najla’s expertise spans housing justice, education equity, and organizational transformation. She has helped community leaders secure millions for affordable housing and tenant protections, and led capacity-building efforts for school, district, and county staff to elevate student and family leadership in decision-making.
She specializes in guiding organizations through anti-Blackness and white supremacy culture analysis; navigating the contradictions of liberatory work within the non-profit industrial complex; deepening alignment between values and practice; and conducting organizational assessments, leadership transitions, and strategic planning.
