Embedded: Creating boundaries within interwoven communities

0 Comment

This interactive workshop will be discussing the complex situations that community members often find themselves in when collaborating, working with, and organizing together. How do our personal relationships with each other impact the sustainability of our communities and movements?
Together we will define what sustainable community means to us. While we highlight the importance of community, we will also dive into the challenges that can arise for queer and trans folks of colour when navigating community spaces. What can we do to identify the power dynamics at play and create healthy boundaries?
Let’s break down what works and what doesn’t as we continue to build sustainable, interwoven communities together.
Please note that this workshop will be a closed space for QTBIPOC folks, and will touch upon abuse of power, sexual assault, racism, queer and transphobia, ableism, as well as other systems of oppression that impact our communities.
Facilitators:
My name is Jo, I’m Muslim, Lebanese and I use They/Them pronouns. I’m a sex educator, a community organizer and a shisha connoisseur. As a Pisces, I’m constantly daydreaming of thrifting, eating, and the liberation of Palestine.
Charissa is a queer adoptee from Cambodia trying to navigate their mid-twenties. They have worked as a medical secretary, workshop facilitator, line cook, soccer referee, childcare worker and more.
