“My ‘work’ isn’t a job, I do these things because I think that they honour the lives of a lot of people who fought for me. I do this work because I care a lot about happiness and fairness. Bell Hooks says, “For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?” This is what I do. I challenge us all (myself included) to be accountable with the faith that we can be transformed.” - Kim Crosby

My work, my whole life has been dedicated to liberation. One of my favorite writers is Mia Mingus, who is also a ‘femme identified womyn of color’ who is a disability justice activist says, “To me, femme must include ending ableism, white supremacy, heterosexism, the gender binary, economic exploitation, sexual violence, population control, male supremacy, war and militarization, and ownership of children and land.” And that resonates with me so powerfully.
