Healing Justice Lineages

Healing Justice Lineages is an anthology, tour, and digital archive which documents the cultural memory of community-led health, healing, care and safety practices as an organizing and bridge building tool.

As the Lead Communications Strategist for the Listening + Cultural Memory Tour & Digital Archive, I developed the strategy, messaging and visual language. I stewarded the respective expansion across digital platforms with a cross functional team including organizers, writers, engineers, and designers. Protocols ensured disability justice & language justice across a diversity of communication platforms and technology.
