Equity and Intersectionality with Olushola Bolonduro Equity Rising
-
- Society & Culture
“I want people to know that they can be the spark to make change happen…” says Olushola Bolonduro, “...wherever they’re at.” Co-Founder of Pink Umbrella Society and active participant in many other local organizations, Shola chats with Trae about what it’s like to be a fresh protester and activist on the streets in a county that does not host a diverse population.
As someone with a few intersecting identities themself, Shola was born of two Nigerian immigrant parents who eventually made their way to Washington state. Now living in Everett as a queer 20-something, Shola was activated by the summer protests of 2020 and quickly saw a gap in social activism in Snohomish County. Starting with their own community, Shola took it upon themself to make change.
You can follow Shola on their Instagram and reach out to them at SnoPoCANN’s website to get engaged in their work. Give Pink Umbrella a follow and engage with their work on Instagram and Facebook.
Thanks to Shola’s friend, Nicoli Dominn, for the comprehensive and stunning Chime-In to our final episode of Equity Rising Season 2.
