ABOUT


queering existentialism

Queering Existentialism is an organization based in NYC that provides workshops, ​education and event facilitation on holistic harm reduction, non-violent ​communication, restorative justice, psychedelics and other related topics. ​Additionally, we also organize intentional connection events focused on these ​topics to create containers for value-based community building.


Over the last decade, I have worked as a violence-prevention educator, clinic-​based counselor, abortion doula, health equity program manager, public health ​researcher and community organizer (sexual & reproductive health, psychedelics) ​alongside earning my BA in Gender, Women’s and Sexuality Studies & Global ​Health, and my Masters in Public Health from NYU’s School of Global Public ​Health. Queering Existentialism was created out of a desire to build bridges ​across different communities, with the purpose of creating positive change in ​practical, evidence-based and accessible ways.
