***FEATURING***
JEN SUNGSHINE Jen Sungshine speaks for a living but lives for breathing life into unspoken situations in unusual places. As a queer artist-activist she facilitates with creativity and social justice media to evolutionize and revolutionize youth education in the classrooms and beyond through Out in Schools. Her artistic practice involves unlearning while learning and learning while unlearning; and instead of calling you out, she wants to call you in - to make artful social change with her through the language of love and nerdy codes. She is very wordy.
KARA SIEVEWRIGHT Kara Sievewright is a writer, artist and designer who creates comics, websites, prints, and posters.

PRAGYA SHARMA
pragya sharma has been writing since she was a wee babe, constructing stories and worlds and characters to keep her company. Her work is grounded in her experiences as a fat, South Asian, queer, cis, femme settler on Turtle Island. She's never published anything other than a few zines in her 20s and she rarely performs, so she is very excited to be a part of REVERB
