Check back on this! Our committee and the Sabbs are working on it together to find the best way to go about supporting LGBTQ+ students at Cambridge.
This week, I am prioritizing work to support LGBTQ+ students of faith! My relationship with religion has been distinctly shaped by homophobia but I'm hoping that my work this year will help queer and religious students at Cambridge find true community 💚

The @CambridgeBME students asked me about #octopusgate as their final question - following a long rich q & a about the family and/as coloniality, capitalism. It took me completely by surprise lol but was perfect 👾🐙
