JEDI work is community work. JEDI work is internal work. Nothing can change without the support of those around you. Nothing can change without you changing yourself.

All that I’ve learned in this space has been from working with and listening to others. Listen to Black women. Listen to indigenous femmes. Listen to queer, trans and gender non-binary people. Listen to people who live with a disability. (Not an exclusive or exhaustive list.)

It is an honor and a privilege to be in coalition with others who are also working towards our collective liberation. The CCC&AOP program has been and continues to be a hugely important source of both inspiration and motivation for me. I am also fortunate to work with incredibly passionate, service-minded people within SURPAS.
