Hello,

 

My name is paradyse oakley (she/they) a third-year studying Community Studies (Health Justice), Critical Race and Ethnic Studies and Politics at UCSC. I’m excited to share this series with you all - I hope you all come and enjoy the space that will be co created with your lovely presence and knowledge. I’ve very excited to share space with you all and to center our Mental Health especially as Black Student at this Predominantly white institution  - dismantle these systems of oppression through abolition, care, rest, joy and love. South Central Los Angeles / Tongva Land  is home to me. I enjoy being out in nature, cooking vegan meals and drinks for loved ones, and reading a good book.
