Hire Me

Do you want to include a disability or environmental justice framework to your organization? Would you like to meaningfully include Indigenous communities in your organizing, but are unsure how to go about this? Have you left the B and 2 out of your work for the 2LGBTQIA community and want to correct the problem, but need an understanding of the Bisexual+ and Two Spirit identities? Perhaps you need to better understand how to work with media to highlight your movement work. You’re in luck!

Jen is available for public speaking, trainings, and consultations on these issues as well as one-on-one coaching sessions.

Testimonials

Jen Deerinwater spoke some serious and much needed truth last night at the Because Conference. ‘Don’t just be an ally, be an accomplice.’

— Sara Ramirez, Actress and Bisexual Activist

This training helped me understand not only my weak points on accessibility in my previous organizing, but things I did right without even realizing I was accommodating a need! I really appreciated Jen’s concrete examples of living at the intersections, and their ability to be vulnerable and relatable as a presenter.

— Shireen Shakouri, Deputy director, Reproaction

Jen's work is a reminder that building a better world demands looking squarely and unflinchingly at both the wreckage and promise of this one. She covers every story with courage and ferocity, and has helped push my own work along more fearless paths in the process.

— Eli Day, freelance writer and Detroit organizer

Deerinwater’s writing provides an important, contemporary challenge to the ways in which colonialism continues to tell the story of women, girls, and two-spirit people. Her criticism of national dialogues on politics, pop culture, and gender are deeply valuable now—but they will be even more valuable in the future.

— Koa Beck, author of White Feminism: From the Suffragettes to Influencers and Who They Leave Behind

Crushing Colonialism is a much needed organization that centers Indigenous storytelling in a variety of formats and mediums. Indigenous people are creating their own media in the face of erasure and marginalization and everyone should pay attention.

— Alice Wong, Founder and Director, Disability Visibility Project
