Pronouns: They/Them

Resource mobilization has been a central part of Jardna’s antiracism practice for over a decade. They have been a social justice fundraiser and narrative strategist with PeoplesHub, Highlander Research and Education Center, and other local and national projects.

They have helped found seven social justice organizations, including Liberation School South, a healing and spirituality school for movement leaders, and Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). As a cultural worker rooted in the South, they have worked with thousands of changemakers globally as an ancestral healing and antiracism facilitator.

They are the author of Practice Showing Up: A Guidebook for White People Working for Racial Justice. Their work and essays have been featured in YES! Magazine, Nashville Review, Pigeon Pages, Mother, Feminist Wire, and more.

They are happiest traveling between worlds, in the Appalachian Mountains, and swimming in lakes, creeks, and oceans. They live on the original homelands of the Shawnee, Osage, and Cherokee (Louisville, KY) with their two kids, cat, snake, and chickens.
