If you want to change the world, there’s no such thing as caring “too much”.

Welcome to Fictive Kin Equity Lab!

We’re a community of super sensitive, curious, and passionate souls who are done with being shamed for feeling, thinking, and caring about “too much" about injustice.

Instead, we are learning how to leverage our “too much-mess” as a social justice superpower.

How do we do this?

It’s all in our name…

FICTIVE KIN

Our Founder is a nerd who loves to play around with words and their meanings.

In her mind, the words “fictive kin” have two meanings:

  • all humans share the trait of creating narratives (or “fictions”) for ourselves to help make sense of the world, how it should be organized, and what our place in it should be

  • this shared trait also makes us “kin”; and if we’re kin, then we should live in a world that ensures everyone gets to live with dignity, respect, and care.

EQUITY LAB

This is Fictive Kin’s dedicated - and protected - online community learning space.

It's designed to function like a virtual laboratory, where members learn how to take everything we’ve been shamed for:

  • our sensitivity to injustice;

  • our “unrealistic” idealism;

  • our penchant for asking critical, and therefore “difficult”, questions; etc.

and turn them into powerful gifts that we can use to help create a more inclusve, just, and humane world.

WHAT MEMBERS SAY:

“What I believe is so magical about [the Fictive Kin community] is that it truly lives up to its purpose.”
