Amanda is NYC born, raised part time in Puerto Rico and found her way to Portland in 2011. She can’t live without a comfy chair and a knitting project, and feels a deep passion and commitment to humanizing the social services world for marginalized folks.
Shannon is a queer Chicana single mother of two, a community organizer, and deeply rooted in mutual aid. She identifies as a transracial adoptee from México who is working for a world without cages, directing her energy to honoring and uplifting self determination, personal histories, and lived experiences.
