i mobilize ideas that inspire action //
Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs. I am Elijah McKinnon; a BlaQ, non-binary, millennial from the San Francisco Bay Area living life and such as a #queerdragon in Chicago, Illinois. When I'm not dreaming I spend a majority of my time creating, sustaining and amplifying ways to mobilize ideas into action. I am a life-long entrepreneur that sees the world through a liberatory lens. As an artist, abolitionist and activists I strongly believe that we have all of the tools we need to break free from systems that have been designed to perpetuate harm.
My curiosity encourages me to seek challenges, ask questions and draw conclusions. I'm deeply rooted in many different communities in an attempt to encourage resource sharing, meaningful relationships, generative conflict, restorative justice and equitable solutions. I only wear white and black, drink way too much coffee, love to travel and consume a lot of garlic, media and Black Feminist literature. Need more info and/or wanna start something meaningful? Read my full bio below to see if our values and intentions are aligned.
