Mila Natasha Mendez (they/them) is a parent, cultural worker and educator committed to transformative relationships, spaces and ideas. They find joy and grounding in the capaciousness of Black feminisms to show us what care can do. As a doctoral candidate in Gender, Feminist and Women’s Studies at York University, Mila’s current research is curious about Black queer and trans* feminist cultural production in relation to and beyond the forces of colonialism, racial capitalism and cisheteropatriarchy. Mila has been working to cultivate a careful and caring practice of the labour that is envisioning and administrating at the intersection of culture, politics, and education.
