adrienne maree brown Speaker Profile: At A Glance

adrienne maree brown (she/they) is growing a garden of healing ideas. Informed by decades of movement facilitation, somatics, science fiction scholarship and doula work, adrienne has nurtured Emergent Strategy, Pleasure Activism, Radical Imagination and Loving Correction as ideas and practices for transformation. adrienne is the NYT-bestselling author/editor of several published texts, a ritual singer-songwriter, co-generator of the Lineages of Change Tarot Deck, and co-creator/host of How to Survive the End of the World podcast with Autumn Brown. adrienne’s latest book Loving Corrections is now available from AK Press. adrienne was awarded the Auburn Institute’s Spiritual Resilience Fellowship in its inaugural year, 2019-2020. In 2022 she was awarded the Jack P Blaney Award for Dialogue from the Simon Frasier University Center for Dialogue and the Barry Dym Champion for Change Award from the Institute for Nonprofit Practice. She was also a 2013 Kresge Literary Arts Fellow and a 2013 and 2015 Knights Arts Challenge winner, writing and generating science fiction in and about Detroit. She was the Ursula Le Guin Feminist Sci Fi Fellow, and a Sundance/Time Warner 2016 Artist Grant Recipient. adrienne engages a range of communities and stages, embodying radical love, somatic wisdom, and possibility. Her ability to hold the complexity of these times — with grief, trauma, hope, imagination — all at once, offers a safe container to grapple with difficult truths and envision change. She isn’t just sharing ideas, but watering seeds of a different world. She doesn’t dominate the room — she holds it, shapes it, and opens it.

Emergent Strategy

adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy is a liberatory framework for getting in right relationship with change, using our own nature and that of creatures beyond human as our teachers. The principles are: - Small is good, small is all. (The large is a reflection of the small.) - Change is constant. (Be like water.) - There is always enough time for the right work. - There is a conversation in the room that only these people at this moment can have. Find it. - Never a failure, always a lesson. - Trust the People. (If you trust the people, they become trustworthy.) - Move at the speed of trust. Focus on critical connections more than critical mass — build the resilience by building the relationships. - Less prep, more presence. - What you pay attention to grows. This topic is ideal for groups interested in revitalizing their approach to values-aligned work and organizing by reconnecting to our own humanity and (re)learning nature’s strategies for survival and resilience. Keywords: community, connection, resilience, fractals, murmurations, evolution

Loving Corrections

Through a lens of “loving correction” rather than mere critique, adrienne maree brown helps us reimagine how to hold ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities accountable by setting clear boundaries, engaging in reflection, and nurturing honest relationships. Along with allowing us more authentic access to ourselves and to each other, the “corrections” are intended to explore and break identity-based patterns including white supremacy, fragility, patriarchy, and ableism. brown also offers practical guidance on how to apologize and be accountable from our nuanced positions of power, history, and resources. This topic is ideal for groups interested in leveraging their privilege for good, forging connection across difference, and reckoning with transformative justice in a world of harmful systems. Keywords: transformative justice, cancel culture, change, relationship, healing, unlearning, communication, repair

Pleasure Activism

How do we make social justice the most pleasurable human experience? How can we awaken within ourselves desires that make it impossible to settle for anything less than a fulfilling life? adrienne maree brown finds the answer in something she calls ‘pleasure activism,’ a politics of healing and happiness that explodes the dour myth that changing the world is just another form of work. Drawing on the Black feminist tradition, she challenges us to rethink the ground rules of activism. From sex work to climate change, from race and gender to sex and drugs -- building new narratives about how politics can feel good and how what feels good always has a complex politics of its own. This topic is ideal for groups seeking to revitalize their approach to values-aligned work and organizing by reconnecting to our own humanity and (re)becoming whole by shedding shame to reconnect to our bodies and embrace our entire beings. Keywords: sexuality, gender, Blackness, joy, pleasure, somatics, feminism
