I’m a former fellow with Results as part of their 2024 Fellowship. Results is an organization committed to ending poverty and oppression. Fellows learn together about the roots of systemic poverty and oppression, building this knowledge into an activist skillset that propels them forward as lifelong advocates.
To learn more about Results and the ways you can help, please visit the Results website. You can also subscribe to my Substack Creating Light.
As a current volunteer with the RESULTS Michigan chapter, I also hosted/facilitated the September 2025 Anti-Oppression Learning Community discussion for RESULTS on the intersection of poverty and disability. (Thank you again to Lakeisha McVey and Karyne Bury for giving me the honor and opportunity to do so and to all the attendees. Thank you to RESULTS for creating these spaces.) The title of my presentation was Working Harder for Half: The Assumptions and Realities of Poverty and Disability. You can download a pdf copy of the slides below:
