J. Khadijah Abdurahman is the founder of We Be Imagining, an initiative applying the Black radical tradition to developing public interest technology.
As an Assembling Voices fellow, Khadijah continued to bridge siloed disciplines and activists, using art, technology, and community networks to combat harmful systems of surveillance, exclusion, and exploitation.
Khadijah organized a series of events in Brownsville, Brooklyn to support political education, organizing, and mutual aid with those most impacted by the New York City Administration for Children’s Services (NYC ACS). These events supported a community-designed mural celebrating Black family life and abolition of the Family Regulation System.
Khadijah later became Editor-in-Chief of Logic(s) magazine at Incite.
