MY PURSUITS AT-A-GLANCE
I believe that in a world rooted in freedom, beloved community & justice. I believe in the interconnectedness of struggles for freedom from oppression. And that marginalized people have the power to create the liberation & healing we seek now through political education, healing & spiritual practice and restorative & transformative justice.
