He/Him

Jude is a Black, transgender, late-diagnosed Autistic educator specializing in transformative justice, community building, and self-advocacy. With over five years of involvement in grassroots movements, Jude's focus on queer and racial justice has evolved into a role as a consent mediator, highlighting the necessity for resources, support, and accountability when consent is breached.

As a parent to two gender non-conforming, neurodivergent children, Jude's personal journey ignited a passion for self-discovery and community creation based on healing, accommodation, and empathy. By merging personal experiences, educational insights in disability advocacy, and restorative healing practices, Jude introduces fresh perspectives to our existing care systems. This shift dismantles dehumanizing isolation, ushering in liberating practices that nurture self-reliance and interdependence.
