Kristina is a dedicated advocate for empowering Black women and femmes within digital spaces, channeling her passion for social justice through her role as Program Coordinator at Resource Media. Her journey in social advocacy began with AmeriCorps, where she championed educational equity, laying the foundation for her commitment to dismantling systemic inequalities. Drawing from both lived experience and academic insights, she brings an acute understanding of intersecting oppressions to her work, particularly in challenging policies that harm Black, Indigenous, and people of color. At Resource Media, she strengthens communication and outreach initiatives while cultivating inclusive digital ecosystems where marginalized voices are heard and celebrated. Her work embodies the principles of collective liberation, as she continues to foster dialogue, amplify underrepresented narratives, and create spaces where each individual can emerge as an agent of meaningful change.
A West Louisville, Kentucky native now flourishing in Portland, Oregon, Kristina brings her Southern roots and commitment to social change to the Pacific Northwest. She holds a BA in Interdisciplinary Social Sciences with a Psychology minor from Spalding University. Her dedication to civic engagement shines through her diverse volunteer workâfrom mentoring youth to advancing causes with organizations like the Kentucky Democratic Party, Best Buddies International, and Basic Rights Oregon. Beyond her community advocacy, Kristina enjoys reading, films, and traveling, spending time with loved ones.
