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, getting lost in music, connecting with loved ones and surrendering to the embrace of nature. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Human Rights and Law and her Master’s degree in Legal Studies which focused on field and theoretical research on the coloniality of gender and violence in Grenada. She sits on the Board of Trustees with the Groundswell Community Justice Trust Fund and organizes with the Caribbean Solidarity Network. She works as a Human Rights Representative with 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.
