Wendi Moore O’Neal is a cultural worker, activist, facilitator, and educator, Wendi Moore-O’Neal works to connect the mission, vision, and values of social and economic justice groups with how everyday work gets done. She uses spiritually grounded practices, visual art, story circles, and song sharing as tools for growing inspiration and building democratic process. Born and raised in New Orleans, she has worked in local, regional and national organizations; but her heart’s work is rooted in the Deep South of the US, especially the kind of organizing that happens around kitchen tables and good food. In 1991, Wendi helped found one of the first documented out lesbian and bisexual women’s alliances at a historically Black college, Spelman, in Atlanta, GA– which continues to exist today as the group Afrekete. Some groups Wendi has worked with include: Black Youth Project 100, Amnesty International, Families and Friends of Louisiana’s Incarcerated Children, Southerners on New Ground, The Highlander Research and Education Center, INCITE! Women of Color and Transpeople of Color Against Violence, and Junebug Productions’ Free Southern Theater Institute.
