Bio: Chancie C (they/them) is a Black queer, non-binary person from the South. Growing up in Texas, where intolerance towards LGBTQIA+ and Black communities is prevalent, their experiences profoundly shaped their activism. Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Applied Gender Studies at Claremont Graduate University, Chancie’s research shines a light on the lived experiences of marginalized and minoritized communities, BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities in particular. Their dedication to sexual and reproductive justice resonates through their advocacy for bodily autonomy, as well as their recognition and emphasis on the intersections between anti-Blackness, LGBTQ+ discrimination, and ableism. Chancie seeks to contribute actively to URGE’s mission and acquire valuable insights into the effective dissemination of information via digital media to expand their impact to wider audiences.
