Author: Calandra Davis

Calandra Davis is a Black, southern, queer mama born and raised in Mississippi. She and her family strategically reside in both West Jackson and Hermanville, Miss., a rural town where they organize efforts with the community toward self-determination. Davis has a master’s degree in public service from the University of Arkansas Clinton School where she played a leading role in research regarding racial disparities in the Arkansas criminal-justice system. She uses her theoretical knowledge and experience to inform her praxis and is now a student of bottom-up organizing. She also works on several sustainability projects including implementing wells so that the community owns and operates their water. Davis strongly believes in the abundance and ability of communities to care for themselves outside of the system.
