I would like to acknowledge here that Ada and I, while being part of a marginalized community are both still very privileged.
I also want to make clear that I’m not saying that you need to have decades of experience, or the means to cover the costs by yourself, but rather wanted to point out it’s a hard job and you need to have (multiple, qualified) people to do the job for a larger instance. There may also be times when the donations don’t 100% cover the costs, and you’ll need to have a plan when this happens.
Unfortunately multiply intersectional marginalized people have a lot harder time getting that experience and to have a means to fund such instances. It can additonally be a lot harder for them to find opportunities to gain this experience.
If you do find yourself in a similar situation, and would like an opportunity to gain some experience/training in a LGBTQIA+ / neuro-diverse / marginalized people-friendly community project, please message myself or @ada and we may be able to help.
