Olympia Sudan
Poet, Healer, Multimedia Artist, Strategist, Pop-Culture Crtitic & Facilitator
Olympia Sudan is a Afro-Latinxasian Transwoman who was raised in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. She is a poet, healer, multimedia artist, strategist, pop-culture crtitic and facilitator invested in decolonizing spaces. She has been organizing since 2006 around the intersections of violence she and her trans and gnc communities of color face. She is awakened by the spiritual force that drives her to dislocate and dismantle the systems that we are subjected to; that oppress the best part of us, and that is to live. Olympias adversity informs the work she does with community and she is deeply invested in the liberation of all black trans and gnc people of color. Olympia works to restore her spirit from the confines of capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy as a trans warrior. She enjoys adventures with her wife Sasha, reading, and writing. She is the Co-Director of Black Trans Media, working to shift and reframe the value of black trans people thru media, education, and community building. Her pronouns are They/Them and Her-She like the chocolate bar.
