Blair Franklin (she/they) is a Black transfemme facilitator, artist, and health/healing practitioner deeply rooted in the marshes and forests of the Chesapeake, on Piscataway land in Baltimore, MD. Her work exists at the intersection of land, spirit, and community, centering the belief that the embodied liberation of Black queer and trans people, women, and femmes will catalyze the abundant worlds we desire.  Over a decade Blair led and grew two major youth organizations in Baltimore, and she is a founding member of the Rooted Collective, a gathering of Black LGBTQ folks working to define, dream, and expand on the ways we heal from oppression and define joy and pleasure.  She now runs a consulting practice called Alight Alchemy, born out of a need to better sustain our movements.  A trained death doula and somatic practitioner, Blair accompanies community leaders through the ongoing cycle of endings and beginnings in their work, inviting change as abundant, necessary, and grounded in the earth wisdom and seasonal shifts present all around us.
