KC // Katherin Canton (they/them), based on occupied Nisenan, Maidu, and Miwuk land (Sacramento, CA), was raised on Yelamu (occupied Ramaytush Ohlone land/San Francisco) and Huichin (occupied Lisjan Ohlone land/Oakland). KC is detribalized/reindigenizing GuateMayan, a weaver, cultural organizer, caregiver, spreadsheet and checklist enthusiast, and a facilitator of magic. They have 15+ years of providing community-centered program management, organization and fund development, impact evaluation and storytelling. As the Director of Learning Communities at LeaderSpring Center they co-create healing containers for leadership development for all involved in justice and liberation work.

In 2023, they guided their mother’s end of life journey, deepening their multigenerational death work practice. In May 2024, they completed their spiritual herbalism apprenticeship under the guidance of Empress Karen Rose, and launched their death & grief rooted herbalism brand, Crowfriend. They envision a reindigenized world, one that centers the liberation and self-determination of all two spirit, queer, trans, black, indigenous, people of color, and all beyond human relatives. Thank you ancestors for guiding my steps.
