On today's episode of Cool Queers Doing Cool Shit, Kelsey sits down with Saria Omer! Saria Omer is many things! A former child, an aspiring adult, and a chronically sleepy person. They are a community organizer, writer, designer, curator, and creative consultant dedicated to the liberation of Black queer people across the Black and African diaspora. Their work often takes the complex and nebulous experiences of marginalized peoples and turns them into accessible opportunities for healing and culturally informed initiatives. We dig into so many meaningful topics, stories, and memories of Saria's childhood as they grew up queer and Muslim and how they are committed to cultivating spaces that celebrate and hold the many experiences of Black queer Muslims today.

Kelsey is always looking for more queers committed to community care to feature on the podcast! If you have a suggestion, drop her a line at coolqueersdoingcoolshit@gmail.com

Don't forget to also send Kelsey your questions for the season finale!
