The intentions, as always are to continue to build our collective power power by and for transgender, gender diverse, and intersex (TGI) people.
We center Black, Indigenous, and POC voices of TGI people.
For this special Monthly Meeting we will have special guest presenter Thanh Mai leading us through a mini herbalism workshop for our hearts and mind.Β A little bit aboutΒ our guest presenter:Β
Thanh Mai (pronouns: they/them) ofΒ @MoonBabyMedicine is a plant tender based in Tovangaar. Thanh grows, dries, and prepares blends of medicinal teas as a way of [re]connecting with the plant traditions + exchanges in their lineage. They work specifically with their family members to understand plants of the southeast AsianΒ + Pasifika diaspora, and ChumashΒ + coastal Natives of Southern California.Β Thanh encourages folks to learn about the native plants + traditions in their area and support Indigenous-led land work.
Thanh created Moon Baby Medicine to provide herbal mutual aid and learning opportunities. Thanh provides medicinal teas to Dignity and Power Now, which distributes care kits to families with incarcerated loved ones. They hope to work with farms, cooperatives, apothecaries, land trusts, and businesses to encourage land rematriation and uninhibited space for Native plants.Β Β
Updated Covid information & resources will be provided at this meeting as well. You will also get to meet our new Outreach Coordinator.Β
