Arieyeh Timayo (she/her)

Arieyeh is a Community Organizer and Political Science Student living and working on the unceded territory of the Katzie, Kwantlen and Semiahmoo people (what’s colonially known as “Surrey ''). She was born in Juba Sudan though her traditional family land is in Kajo Keji, on the territory of her beloved ancestors the Kuku people. Her passions in no particular order are as follows; cats, Beyonce and decoloni(zing) towards safe & inclusive communities through radical re-imagination and taking care of the most vulnerable folks first. Arieyeh is deeply grateful to be uplifted by numerous nourishing and wonderful bad-ass black femmes in her life. Her work is done in inspiration and honour her family and the Black and Indigenous Youth who continue to impact and teach her on her path.
