Hey! Why so many events all of sudden?
I am proud to be a member of the Liberatory Livelihood Association (LLA), which helps people build their livelihoods in healing, anti-oppressive ways. The events being run by LLA member Heather Luna (on fascism, feedback, and conflict) are part of her personal, and our collective, experimentation.
Heather has been teaching English by the hour and suddenly has some free spaces in her calendar. She is wondering if she can earn enough by donations for those few hours of running events to enable her to do the work she loves (LLA stuff!) without needing to do the side gig as much. (Although she does love her students!) She will be offering several events a week until it seems that the experiment is no longer working.
Any amount of money over what she would have earned from teaching English those hours will go into the LLA pot to fund our ongoing development into a membership organisation.
We hope to see you at our upcoming events!

My position
My name is Chris Musei-Sequeira, and I use he/him pronouns. My mother was born in Trinidad and Tobago as a descendant of enslaved Africans brought to the Caribbean during the time of European colonization. She came to the United States of America (USA) at the age of 10. My father is Goan and was born in India, in Mumbai, and raised Catholic and English-speaking. He came to the USA for his graduate studies, where he met my mother.
My sister and I were born in the USA and lived a middle-class life in the suburbs of multiple American cities. I studied aeronautical engineering and technology policy in university, then worked at the Federal Aviation Administration and as an aviation consultant. I've lived in cities up and down the USA East Coast since the age of 18, until very recently. Now I live in Eastern Europe with my wife and our cat.
I thank Heather Luna and Lavinia Muth for showing me the importance of publicly expressing our positions. Because of our positions, all of us are very familiar with some aspects of the world while having no idea of other aspects. Positionality expresses how our individual positions affect our relationships with other people and with the world as a whole.
