S02E03 Kris with a K Henry on misgendering, bureaucracies, and coming out at work

Kris with a K" Henry (they/them/theirs) is a Jamaican nonbinary individual currently based out of Georgia. A UGA alum and self-proclaimed creative conjurer, Kris creates art in many forms, spiritual tools, spiritual services, and classes/workshops centering their works as a spiritual safe space for black queer and trans folx. They seek to create authentically empowering, ancestrally connected healing experiences that bring a sense of agency and sovereignty back to the historically marginalized. Kris is currently involved in a Reparations effort called Healing for the Healers, a fundraising campaign to provide 6 month stipends to a collective of 9 Black healers who do needed pro bono healing work in the Black community. To contribute or spread the word about this effort, visit https://www.gofundme.com/f/healing-the-healers Kris' first published project is a collection of poetry titled "Love LETTERS", and their second project, Warri(O)racle, is an online chapbook.
