Kindred Connections Collective

We Envision- a world where BIPOC Trans, Two-Spirit, Gender Non-conforming, and Queer folx prosper for it is our birthright. We aim to remove barriers to our healing, wellness, and liberation, so that in our lifetime we are able to witness, engage and live in a flourishing, loving and whole community.

There has long been work to keep our communities fragmented and oppressed - they came for our language, our names, and our foodways. We work using a liberatory framework comprised of:
Ancestral Knowledge/Practices -We honor our ancestors as guides. Reclaiming our ancestral wisdoms, practices and beliefs root us in healthy interdependence which is vital in building and sustaining wellness ecosystems.
Harm reduction – It is how we meet us where we are. Harm reduction helps us hold our humanity and move with compassion. It is how we create spaces, engage in accountability, and decolonize structural practices and knowledge sharing.
Creativity- Creativity keeps us alive. It is how we carve out safe havens, cultivate sacred communication, and take form to counter our erasure.
