From Our Collaborators:

"j. nyla (ink) is, by all metrics, an outstanding advocate, activist, educator, researcher, and colleague, who has worked tirelessly to advocate for queer, trans, and nonbinary people of color (QTPOC). Their work with, for, and on behalf of QTPOC is courageous, distinctive, and far-reaching. j. nyla refuses to be stuck in the Ivory Tower producing scholarship divorced from the realities of the participants of their research—academia needs more people to disrupt and change the system and j. nyla will be influential in being a part of that movement."

— Stephanie L. Budge, Ph.D, University of Wisconsin-Madison

“I have had the pleasure of having Sarita lead our 5th grade class in a native restoration project where she took us on a short hike to Creekbed and taught us about some of the native plants present, the history, spiritual value and medicinal/nutritious value. She brought the material alive to the class through the utilization of various modalities  i.e., story, riddles, reflection, group work, artistic exercises, and more.

I noticed today that the students were eager and engaged in learning about the profound ecosystem that surrounded them. 

It is clear that Sarita has tremendous passion and wisdom in this field. The material comes alive in her as it is living within her so profoundly. What's more is that she has a creative way to teach the children using a variety of methodologies. Her presence is strong yet warm and the children can connect with her.” 

—Elham Chishty, Wildcat Canyon Community School 5th grade Teacher, 2023

"We at times likened j. nyla to mycelium: simultaneously decomposing that which is ready to transform, healing that which is otherwise toxic and destructive, and weaving those around them into a diverse, powerful, and connected community of beings.... They are at once professional and vulnerable, grounded and visionary, and empathic and disciplined." 

—Brendan Sloan Clarke, M.A.T, Watershed Schoolhouse and formerly of the Foundations in Resilience Education Fellowship (The FIRE Fellowship) team
