So many people rely on you - how will you reduce your workload without hurting anyone?
“When I discovered Raising Luminaries, it seriously felt like the world shifted, like there could be hope and optimism (and goofy-ness and fun) balanced with reality and hard work."
Hi, I’m Ashia Ray [they/them], founder and Head Custodian of Raising Luminaries. I create educational resources for overworked caregivers juggling advocacy, parenting, and community care.
With over a decade of experience in disability and racial justice organizing, I'm best suited to helping caregivers who feel out of place in traditional parenting and activist spaces. If you’re unsure whether you belong here - that’s a pretty good sign that you're in the right place.
Land acknowledgements are worthless without action. So we prioritize amplifying Indigenous-lead resources in our toolkits and reciprocate with donations to the Wôpanaâk Language Reclaimation Project.
