Kathleen Anaza
Kat is an unintentionally nomadic multigenre storyteller, culture worker, and organizer.
Movement organizing entered her world as a preteen with #SaveDarfur; it continued to influence her both academically and in the streets, as she attended college in Chicago and later worked as an international educator.
She has studied, worked, and lived in Africa, the Middle East, and South America, connecting with communities, coalitions, and creative communities seeking liberation. She utilizes storytelling as a vehicle to amplify the powerful work and human experiences she’s been granted access to. Her work has been featured in Vogue, Viator, Lonely Planet, Zora Magazine, and more.
She works as a communications strategist and contractor, supporting grassroots organizations, nonprofits, and NGOs in amplifying their impact through the development of content and communications materials.
She is also the founder of an organization called The Cultural Blueprint, utilizing travel and experiential learning to foster coalition-building.
She is broadly focused on engaging creative and artistic communities of Africa and the global Black diaspora in the service of social justice and economic empowerment issues.
She currently serves as a Program Outreach Coordinator for Donkeysaddle Projects.
