Be in Community

Do you have ideas about community building?

Facilitated by Nordia Simmonds, the “Be in Community” workgroup meets Sundays at Sovern to sit and discuss as a community. This is an opportunity to talk through themes such as belonging, safety, and mutual aid, with a goal of creating the relationships and connections we want for our collective healing.

About Nordia Simmonds:

Nordia Simmonds is an diasporic Afro-Caribbean queer researcher whose interests and work lie at the intersections of identity and liberation, and legacies of hope and decolonizing narratives. These curiosities arise from her upbringing in a working-class Jamaican family that holds values rooted in Euro-Christian concepts of faith and compassion, and embodies Afro-Caribbean views of family/kinship, which extend concepts of relation and insist on collective care.
