Sasha Irby of Osage, Lakota, Mvscogee+

Sasha (Pronouns: They/Them) is a neurodivergent envrkopv weretv/two-spirit person of the Osage, Lakota, and Mvskoke peoples, with ancestral connections to other Indigenous Nations of the Southeast of Turtle Island. Born of and nurtured by the Gulf South, Sasha spent their childhood on a barrier island off the Northern coast of Florida, and has spent their adult life in Bvlbancha organizing around Indigenous futurism, land and water defense, mutual aid, radical hope, and community care through the lens of Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ (the fundamental knowledge that all beings are related and interconnected). They believe that the teachings of the interdependence of humans with all living beings are deeply transformative and that to build the world of our dreams we must bring people together, celebrating and making space for their full selves. You’ll find them tending their community’s medicinal urban farms, learning their ancestral languages, screenprinting and zine making, making plant medicine and educational resources available to their community, batch cooking as an expression of love, and rebuilding ancestral trade routes.
