I’m Pink Flowers, a Black trans facilitator, educator, mediator, and cultural worker working at the intersection of governance, conflict engagement, leadership development, and collective problem-solving.

My work helps people, organizations, and communities talk to each other more honestly, work through conflict, and get better at making decisions together, especially when things are tense or changing. I draw on mediation, popular education, Theater of the Oppressed, restorative practice, cooperative development, performance, and African diasporic traditions to build spaces where people can think together and then actually act on what they figured out.

I’m a trained Peacemaker, a practice I learned through the Red Hook Community Justice Center in Brooklyn, a program of the Center for Court Innovation, where I served from 2012 to 2018 in the tradition of Navajo peacemaking. In 2026 I have completed the General Civil Mediation Training approved by the Michigan State Court Administrative Office, through the Dispute Resolution Center of Washtenaw County.

Over the past two decades, my work has ranged from community-based performance and cultural organizing to cooperative leadership development, restorative process facilitation, and institutional training. I am the Director of Education & Training for the Inter-Cooperative Council in Ann Arbor. I serve on the board of Pedagogy and Theatre of the Oppressed Inc. and was recently elected to the board of the Association of Cooperative Educators. Earlier, I worked with the Center for Family Life Cooperative Business Development Program in Brooklyn.

I founded Falconworks Theater Company, an award-winning theater and civic engagement organization that used performance and facilitation to explore public dialogue and collective imagination. I’m also a member of Trans Advocacy Theatre Collective, a trans-led collective in Southeast Michigan using applied theatre to build advocacy skills, collective power, and real-world strategies for justice.

This site documents an evolving interdisciplinary practice rooted in culture, embodiment, governance, conflict, and the ongoing work of helping people and institutions figure things out together.
