D Dagondon Tiegs (they/them or Ø) wholeheartedly believes that a world where everyone is safe and has what they need to reach their fullest potential is already unfolding. D is inspired and grounded by our intricate interconnections to each other and the Earth and is guided by the wisdom of our communities, ancestors, and the descendants who have yet to come. When not working, D can be found chilling with Tai’s dogs (Lola the Destroyer and Gunther/Gunner), enjoying wine, or reading about Queer/Trans history.
