JaNesha Renee
JaNesha Renee (she/her) was raised in the occupied territory referred to as North Carolina, which deeply informed her analysis of how oppression can appear in the subtle and the subconscious. After studying and living in Asheville for more than six years, she developed a deep passion for facilitation, qualitative analysis, arts-based community building, and ancestral tools of healing and relationship building. While pursuing her BA in Political Science, with concentrations in History and Africana Studies, she engaged in a multitude of professional and extracurricular projects. These included curating a oral history project on the topic of Inequitable housing, producing and directing a play on the topic, and helping develop and facilitate a student organizing coalition. Her work experiences post graduation have included being an organizer for a statewide electoral organization, deep canvassing residents of rural NC, providing artistic and political guidance as a mentor for a bilingual arts program for Black and Latinx teens, and facilitating Black healing and arts spaces. Some of the labels that feel deeply important to her identity is that she is a daughter of two, sister to four, and a proud auntie of one (so far). She currently resides in so-called Durham.
