Xan

DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMS

Xan is a dynamic leader, spiritual practitioner, and community builder with more than two decades of experience in social justice movement work. Her journey has been shaped by a deep commitment to community power, police accountability, queer liberation, and collective healing.

A former Executive Director of OneLife Institute, Xan also co-facilitated Healing Black Lives from 2018 to 2021, a transformative program grounded in spiritual resilience and racial justice. She holds a Certificate in Spirituality and Social Change from the Pacific School of Religion.

Xan views healing centered leadership as a holistic practice that nurtures both the individual and the collective toward shared liberation.

In addition, she sits on the Black Health Equity Board Advisory Group for the California Department of Public Health where she advocates for public policy that strengthens the future of all Black Californians and, by extension, all communities.
