LaToya Wesley, Director of Resource Mobilization

by

LaToya (she/her) is a social science researcher and an advocate for fair and just policymaking that truly values the voices of those who are the most often marginalized. She has nearly 20 years of experience evaluating, developing, and resourcing justice programs and initiatives to support justice-involved youth and adults in connecting to opportunities to that support their journey toward thriving. LaToya believes that by centering and uplifting the voices and perspectives of those who are most often “othered” by society, together we can develop strategies that ensure that all people are able to blossom into their best selves. She looks forward to a future where all people have an opportunity meet their basic needs without feeling forced to make unimaginable choices based on disparities in the resources available to them.

LaToya currently lives in the District of Columbia metro area. When she’s not busy keeping up with her family, she is making candles and creating ceramic art as a meditative practice.

Kassamira Carter-Howard, Network Weaver

by

Kassamira (she/her) is an artist, facilitator, healer, organizer, and advocate with a decade of experience in social justice movements. Using an intersectional framework, she explores ways to practice reimagining a world free from violence. Kassamira combines her creative art practice with her commitment to ending violence against black women and girls to create trauma-informed, survivor-centered healing spaces.

Most recently, Kassamira served as the project manager for the “Black Freedom Beyond Borders: Reimagining Gender Anthology.” In collaboration with Wakanda Dream Lab and Resonance Network, the anthology explores the theme of gender liberation and encourages black folks from across the diaspora to practice imagining the liberated world we wish to create. In 2018, she developed the Youth LEADS initiative, a nationwide project to engage young people in honest discussions around their experiences with gender-based violence and solutions for creating change. She published the “Youth LEADS: Cultivating Young Leaders in the Fight to End Gender-Based Violence” report and has presented her work at several conferences, including the 68th annual United Nations Civil Society Conference and the National Conference on Domestic Violence. She graduated magna cum laude from Santa Clara University with a B.S. in Political Science, Ethnic Studies with a minor in Gender Studies.

Karen Tronsgard-Scott

by

My life practice is supporting aspirations and dream-making. I believe together, we can build a world where all thrive over generations. I am seeking ways to integrate spirit, community, physical presence and this thing we call work. Love is my gift and knowing is my core strength.  I will always be learning and experimenting. I am invested in knowing the ancestors and hearing their wisdom in service of the descendants. I am a storyteller and a listener. My personal challenge is saying ‘yes’ to too much. I love without reservation. (She/they pronouns).
