What we experience, how we process and describe those experiences, and what we - and other people - do as a result matters. It is easy to feel powerless; as if nothing we really say or do makes a difference. I certainly feel that way sometimes. But I also know that I am not powerless. I am a complex human being with a mix of power and oppression, presence and marginalisation, potential and problems. In Beyond Binaries, I bring who I am to the table, writing about how experience, narratives, praxis and power come together to inform social justice (or the lack thereof) and impact real lives.
