Come learn from omi how to save the Black intellectual through academic insurrection.

Ominira (omi) mars is a black, queer anarcho-abolitionist, doula, writer, and disruptor. Descendants of southern poor/lower class disruptors; they work exclusively from a black southern/rural and anti-carceral epistemology and center communities affected by the war on drugs and the prison industrial complex. Omi is a doctoral dropout seeking to materialize their refusal of a life outside of a reliance on violent settler-colonial, anti-black institutions. They are the founder of the Dunbar Creek Collective; an abolitionist collective of those committed to anti-carceral death, despair, & grief work and they organize against the non-profit industrial complex and academic violence. Their work and writings have been described as revolutionary, (afro)futuristic, and deeply critical.
