About Me

Jordan (they/he) is an eleventh generation Afro-Indigenous descendant with lineage from the continent of Africa and the Lenape "Delaware" Turtle (Unami), indigenous to Turtle Island's North Eastern Woodlands (parts of present day New Jersey, New York City, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut). Jordan is a healing justice practitioner who approaches his work with an intersectional lens, utilizing guidance and technologies inherited from elders, ancestors, and the natural world. Jordan came into healing work via food justice 10 years ago in Los Angeles and Whittier, CA and then in Washington, D.C. [Tongva, Gabrielino, Piscataway and Nacotchtank lands, respectively]. Jordan is a liberatory coach, philanthropic consultant, and ancestral steward. 

 

Jordan is a current member of the Board of Instigator at the Diverse City Fund, a movement accountable public foundation which supports healing justice, organizing, advocacy efforts in D.C. through participatory grantmaking. Previously, Jordan was the Director of Power Building at a DC-based family foundation moving resources to transform unjust systems. Jordan’s highest priorities are answering their grandparents’ call to leave the world better than we found it, and to be a good relative to all our relations.
