Kimalee Phillip (she/her)

A wannabe DJ and skilled facilitator, Kimalee is an experienced social justice and organizational learning consultant, writer, educator and researcher whose work is deeply grounded in, and informed by Black queer feminist thought and practice. She finds joy in writing, losing herself in a juicy book or good song, connecting with loved ones and surrendering to the embrace of nature. She sits on the Board of Trustees with the Groundswell Community Justice Trust Fund and works as the Director of Human Rights at Canada’s largest public sector union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). As a traveller, her heart remains deeply connected to water, land, the cosmos and the territories that she has the privilege of experiencing. Grateful to live, love and organize on Turtle Island, she longs for the day when her body and spirit can return to the place where she was born and raised, Grenada.
