Mitchell uses they/them/siya pronouns and centers their work in community building through vulnerability, transparency and accountability. Having been born, raised and educated in the Philippines, their work is rooted in Filipino concepts and ideology, one of which is kapwa which places importance on the recognition of oneself in another. They earned their bachelor’s from University of Saint La Salle in the Philippines and earned their master’s in Public Administration and Gender Studies from California State University, Chico. Mitchell is coming back to both their Lasallian and northern California roots! Mitchell has also centered their work in queer and feminist theories, and multiracial studies, and indigenous ways of being inclusive of indigenous peoples from the Philippine Islands. They are interested in and have done work around transgender/non-binary identity education, Filipinx consciousness, bi/multiracial experiences, and spirituality outside & inclusive of organized world religions.

Tiara is a Bay Area native who spent the past eight years living in Atlanta, GA, and New Orleans, LA. They return to their Bay Area roots carrying a deep reverence for personal and collective histories shaped by their sankofa experience of returning to the South, where many of their ancestors migrated from. Tiara's work centers on community care and connection through embodied expression, relationship with land and place, and storytelling. They hold a deep passion for literature, literary justice, and somatic processing; they are committed to storytelling by any means necessary. They bring a rich and multidisciplinary background spanning social services, teaching in and out of academia, healing and performance arts, public library work, and land stewardship. They hold a B.A. in Literature and Multicultural Trauma from Mills College and an M.A. in Comparative Literature from Emory University. Tiara is a Black Queer Fat Femme, and this identity is deeply embedded in their pedagogical and programmatic practice. As a Human Design Projector, they thrive as a guide and resource, helping others bring their visions to life.
