rïn  (they/hymn) is a black queer conflict doula, movement strategist, organizational development consultant, and educator. rooted in the South, they now bloom between cities, bearing witness to and reflecting back strategies used to build life-affirming worlds in face of late-stage capitalism and fascism.

rïn was formally trained in consent education by Stas Schmidt and Lea Roth (co-founders of Spring Up Collective), in restorative practices and mediation by SEEDS CRC, in integrated somatic trauma therapy through Staci Haines and the Embody Lab, and in Disability Justice by Stef Lyn Kaufman-Mthimkhulu and Xochi Cartland in their leadership at Project LETS. co-founder and co-visionary director of the abolition& education project, and founder of healing marronage liberatory resolutions, rïn’s been bringing trauma-informed heart-centered healing to their communities of practice since 2015, with special interests in healing for Black, BIPOC, systems-impacted, and MMIND (mad, mentally ill, neuroexpansive, and Dis/abled) kin and extended community members.

as a practitioner, rïn considers their most important lineages of learning to be their personal communities, where they do their best to be in loving practice with the gift of relational healing. rïn loves tending to their plants, creating spaces that center joy and laughter, and believes that building intentional, accountable relationships and communities rooted in care and consent will transform our worlds. their hyperfixation of the moment is working with their hands and building from the ground up - relationships, movements, collated freer futurities - in community.
