Hi I'm Kai! Queer trans black woman and a software engineer.
Why Support Me?
I create software for other engineers, build culture, and organize communities. But foundational to all of that, is the most important thing that I do: exist. Existence is resistance, and my particular existence is revolutionary. Me being here, and being visible, is already changing the world in a meaningful way. And in the meantime, I'll make a ton of software π !
Crowdfunding for me has always been about establishing and stabilizing systems of social support. I'm a established software engineer, so I don't need the $$$. I'm a QTPoC with chronic mental and physical conditions, so I absolutely need the support. The world is dark and full of terrors, and supporting each other grows the light and makes us all stronger. For other marginalized people: let's help each other out so we can all become stronger πͺ! For privileged people: grow the light in the world π.
Support These Other People Too!
A lot of the reason I'm here is because amazing and diverse groups of people came together to help each other out. In that same spirit, here's some people I think you should support!
And a tad bit more formally, here's an organization I volunteer with. It's a great place filled with people who do tons to support each other π. Check it out, and tell your friends!
