Alice (She/Her/Elle) is a proud mixed-race Black queer woman raising six children with her wife in the Ottawa area. Their three younger ones were adopted through the Child Welfare System. To be the parent her children needed, she had to educate herself about Trauma in all its form and manifestation, FASD, Attachment issues, and neurodiversity, among other essential things. She also quickly realized that if some challenges were common in families created the same way as hers, others were specific to minority or marginalized communities, like BIPOC or LGBTQ2+. Using her MA in political sciences and her diverse background, she intentionally applies an interdisciplinary and intersectional lens to address complex realities and create change. Diversity is at the heart of her identity and work.

Following her passion for social justice, she’s also active in the labour movement and volunteers for community organizations.

She prides herself on being intersectional. Neurodivergent. Polyglot. Lesbian/Queer. Shipper. Parent. Wife. Friend. Daughter. Sister. New Settler. Learner. Listener. Celebrator. Accomplice. Gamer. Builder. Organizer. Space giver. Sharer.
