Neuro-queer, non-binary trans activist, educator, visual artist and poet, and macro social worker
Rowan “Crow” Reyes, MSW, CYT is most interested in spaces wherein education, activism, and art intersect. Their overarching mission is to (co)create transformative experiences that simultaneously support individual healing and fuel collective liberation. These experiential containers include community workshops, professional training, 1:1 peer support, and art-based and spiritual circles.
Rowan’s activism was incubated in intersectional feminism, with a strong focus on gender-based violence (partner abuse & sexual violence) prevention. Their current organizing is deeply rooted in queer liberation. In recent years, their work has focused on advocating for queer and trans rights through art, poetry, peer support groups, workshops, education and training.
Rowan believes in queerness as decolonization. They are interested in strategic trouble-making, creative play, harm reduction, radical self-determination, and pleasure as paths to getting free. Rowan believes that community care built outside of institutions is necessary for our collective well-being.
Rowan is personally and politically devoted to trans survival and our inherent right to safety, autonomy, and joy.
