Meet our Facilitators:

KayeAnn has over 35 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults struggling with the impact of living in what bell hooks calls an “imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy”. Her work integrates anti-racism, anti-oppression, social justice, intersectional and liberatory frameworks. She believes that the root of racial healing for Black and Brown bodies is grounded in raising racial consciousness and in collective multi-systemic resistance.
