Salam alaikum!
My name is Laila R. Makled (they/them).
I am a writer, facilitator, educator, event producer, and resource creator. I believe gathering and communication are key tools to building movement power.
I have a decade+ of experience bringing people together and navigating group dynamics with care and intention. I am a disability justice advocate and an ongoing student of Healing Justice, Black feminist wisdom, indigenous land wisdom, and queerness as political orientations.
I love using sounds & non-speaking ways to communicate, and being cozy and silly. I love getting to the bottom of things, and practicing what it means to take care of each other while fighting back against fascism.
I am a genderqueer/transmasculine person. I am grandchild & great-grand kid to Lebanese-Muslim refugees, a grandchild to a Palestinian-Muslim refugee, and a grandchild to Texan-Baptist settler whose roots go back to Ireland, Scotland & England. I am light-skinned and am both perceived as a person of color and white person.
This is my website! Out There Communication is the business I formed to be able to offer services that I am passionate about to others, and make a financial living. You can find my full resume by following this link.
Thanks for being here. :)
