I am the founder of the Solidarity History Initiative

The Solidarity History Initiative (SoHi) was formed in 2022 to merge the skills of memory workers with the skills of organizers and activists. We work with organizations and causes that we care about to create documentation; we work with cultural heritage institutions to acquire this documentation; and we promote the causes through podcasts and other public-facing projects.

At SoHi I do these things:

• Oral history interviews

• Podcast production

• Trainings and consulting

• Grant writing/administration

I’m a co-founding facilitator of Mapping Trans Joy

Mapping Trans Joy is a joy-as-resistance participatory mapping project with the goal of reimagining our geographies through a lens of trans joy. We invite all trans/nonbinary/two spirit/gender queer/gender expansive, and general cisn’t folks to share some joy!

I also worked with the Louisiana Trans Oral History Project.

The Louisiana Trans Oral History Project (LaTOHP) was a trans-run, community-focused initiative to collect, preserve, and promote the voices of Louisiana’s transgender and gender non-conforming communities. LaTOHP was officially sunsetted in Spring 2023 after three very active years. Check out the website for an overview of all the things we did.

At LaTOHP I did these things:

• Oral history interviews

• Outreach/promotion/social media management

• Grant writing/administration

• Website development and management
