Jude is a Black, transgender, late-diagnosed autistic educator specializing in transformative justice, community building, and self-advocacy. With over five years of involvement in grassroots movements, Jude's focus on queer and racial justice has evolved into a role as a consent mediator, highlighting the necessity for resources, support, and accountability when consent is breached.
As a parent to two gender non-conforming, neurodivergent children, Jude's personal journey ignited a passion for self-discovery and community creation based on healing, accommodation, and empathy.

This shift dismantles dehumanizing isolation, ushering in liberating practices that nurture self-reliance and interdependence.
