Simone G. Reynolds (she/her) is a Black queer Chicago-Southsider, arts worker, singer-songwriter, actor, and poet. She translates the complexities of navigating life, migration, and identity through transportive sound and imagery. Simone invites others to come home to themselves and their roots. As a student of abolition, Simone continues the tradition of community care by making space for marginalized folks to nurture and express their creativity through liberating arts experiences. Her work is ancestor veneration, an ode to community, and a celebration of memory.
Simone’s performance credits include: For Colored Girls, 9 to 5, In the Next Room, Re-Writing the Declaration, and Lollapalooza Music Festival. She is a recent Theatre Arts and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduate of Eastern Illinois University, a Black Arts Institute 2019 alumni, an Artist as Citizens 2017 fellow, and a member of Rebirth Poetry Ensemble.

Dhameera MJ | Organizer, Circle Keeper, Educator
Dhameera MJ is a Black queer organizer, educator, and student from over east. Their path in organizing began in 2014 with Chicago Freedom School’s Freedom Fellowship summer program which grounded Dhameera in a youth centered organizing lens, holistic wellness practices, and transformative justice/abolition frameworks. They carried these principles to central Illinois, where they continued to organize in Champaign and Urbana public high schools through their organization My Sister’s Keeper until 2019.
Dhameera returned to the Chicago Freedom School in 2020 to complete the Northstar Fellowship and continue their learning on reimagining schools through trauma informed perspective. Dhameera and their fellows collaborated to create a workshop curriculum and training manual for Chicago Public Schools teachers and students that included historical context for the prevalence of colonial violence within schools and alternative structures to redistribute power within the classroom.
They also love to garden and crochet.
