Support to develop your expertise around PMEL with creative examples and practical tips for adding these to your existing processes. I use participatory, decolonial, intersectional, and inclusive approaches.
You can download and start using everything today. These are practical tools for everyone. When I began my career, I couldn’t find the resources I was looking for at a reasonable price, written well, or informed by the real world and all its complexities. I want to correct that. PMEL is not one-size-fits-all, and that’s part of what makes it so interesting.
Feel free to use my work, but please be responsible and credit me. When I’ve shared others’ work, I’ve attributed them. For example, I use The Barefoot Guide’s incredible collection of artists for each post’s title images. Everything else you see here is my intellectual property and is copyrighted.
