Za'Nia Coleman, The Fields at Rootsprings

I am the Engagement Manager at Rootsprings, a community-centered organization dedicated to fostering healing, learning, and connection while nurturing artistic and spiritual development rooted in revolutionary principles. My passion for community engagement and social justice has driven me to create spaces that provide access to rest and respite, empowering those who have long been marginalized. In my role, I develop initiatives that center BIPOC and LGBTQ+ artists, activists, and healers, fostering creativity, building resilient community bonds, and serving as a connector to introduce people to the land and tell the story of the work we do.
