Hello Sunshine! Welcome to another episode of Reimagining with Ayandastood. Today, we are joined by the one and only Mia Mingus. In this episode, we explore Beauty, Desirability, Ugliness and Magnificence. Full transcripts to all episodes are available here.
Mia Mingus is a writer, educator and trainer for transformative justice and disability justice. She is a queer, physically disabled, Korean-American transnational adoptee raised in the Caribbean. She works for community, interdependence and home for all of us, not just some of us, and longs for a world where disabled children can live free of violence, with dignity and love. As her work for liberation evolves and deepens, her roots remain firmly planted in ending sexual violence. Find Mia at @MiaMingus on Twitter and suppert her on Venmo @Mia-Mingus if you can!
