SUMMARY:Tapiwa
DESCRIPTION:The focus of my rope style is the translation of simple\, foundational techniques into feeling and mood. \nBoth the 1-hour performance and 1-hour workshop will focus on this. Minimal focus on aesthetic\, with a more liberal and playful approach to intimacy\, sharing rope without the explicit definition and command of power often present in rope. While learning knots\, safety considerations\, and other technical details are important\, mood\, creativity\, and expression aren’t always at the forefront of teaching spaces. \nFinally\, I’m a Black\, African person and my rope practice embraces my local culture and is not centered around Japan or European values\, motifs or dogma. This will be a considerate deviation from the usual. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: hands-on workshop/performance \nMinimum Knowledge Level: There are no prerequisites\, however\, knowledge of tension reversal and maintenance\, column ties and safety around rope would facilitate easier learning in the attendees. \nWhat to Bring: Your own rope kit\, comfortable clothing\, water \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:QUEEROPE 2022 Day Ticket: Saturday
DESCRIPTION:  \nQUEEROPE 2022 is a 5-day virtual conference for mostly shibari/kinbaku/Japanese-inspired bondage that is exclusively for LGBTQIA+ people and womên. \nWe welcome all roles (rigger/tops\, model/bottoms\, switches\, etc.)\, all knowledge levels (beginner\, intermediate\, advanced)\, and all styles to this gathering that aims to bring queer & female-identifying practitioners together to celebrate their love for rope and exchange knowledge and experiences. \n\nLineup Saturday: \n12 pm – 1.30 pm CET:  Self-Tying Space – Celebration and Mourning (Sophia Rose) \n1.45 pm – 3.45 pm CET: Accessible Chair Suspensions (Kanna / Kagura) \n4 pm – 6 pm CET: Knot What You Thought (Sophia Rose) \n6.15 pm – 8.15 pm CET: Spontaneous Flow (Tapiwa) \n8.30 pm – 10.30 pm CET: Global Rope Jam (Sophia Rose / Ghost Acres) \n  \nDay Pass: \n50 Euros per day pass. \nA day pass is valid for one person for the entire conference day and includes access to the recordings of the day’s classes for 30 days after the event. \nFor a full conference ticket\, please go here. \n  \n  \nFAQ: \nHow do you define “LGBTQIA+” & “womên”? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender. \nWomên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender\, heterosexual womên. \nThe word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined. \nI am not LGBTQIA+ and not a womên\, can I still attend? \nNo\, please respect that this particular event is not for you. There are lots of other events you can attend. But Queerope one is solely for people of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum & womên. \nI cannot afford the ticket but would love to join. What do I do? \nSend us a message via info@karada-house.de. If we have pay-it-forward tickets available we will make them available to you. If we don’t we will put you on a waiting list or see what else we can do. Either way\, we will find a way. \nWhat platform do you use for the virtual conference? \nWe need to use Zoom as it is the only platform available that is affordable and stable enough for bigger groups. Please make sure you can fulfill the requirements for Zoom from your side to have a satisfactory experience.  We will do our best to make the zoom calls safe by engaging all possible security features. You do not have to turn your camera on and you can use any name you like. \nThe times don’t always work for me / I cannot attend everything I want… \nThat is why we will make recordings available to you\, so you can watch & re-watch them within 30 days. \nIf I share my computer with a person\, is buying one ticket enough? \nNo. You are not paying for the computer access but for the knowledge that the facilitators and artists are distributing. Please respect that knowledge has a worth and should be compensated. \nI am all alone at the moment and have no partner. Does it still make sense to participate? \nAbsolutely. There will be a variety of topics and skills and not all of them require a partner. You can learn a lot even just by listening and watching or trying things on yourself. We will also provide knowledge and possibilities for self-tying & suspension and other solo practices.

SUMMARY:Sophia Rose
DESCRIPTION:Celebration and mourning are both ‘human needs’. \nIf we don’t do either\, our well-being suffers.

SUMMARY:Lee Harrington
DESCRIPTION:Rope can be a wonderful tool for spicing up your sex life\, and in today’s class\, we will learn to apply crotch ropes for a variety of shapes and layouts of bodies. \nAssumptions that all people who wear ropes in this area of the body want them tied in the same way is false\, and for some of us\, it can elicit feelings of dysphoria\, cause physical discomfort\, or just not feel sexy. Let’s learn and play together to create not just simple-line crotch ropes\, but convert them into handholds\, hip harnesses\, tools that highlight or reduce focus on the area\, and create aesthetically pleasing butt ties too! \nFinally\, we will learn to create our own strap-on harnesses out of rope. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: Bring one or two 25-30 foot (7-9 meter) pieces of rope\, and a dildo if you have one\, and come play along (whether you are doing self-bondage\, are with a partner\, or just want to watch). \nSolo or Partnered: all constellations welcome \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:#InRopesToo
DESCRIPTION:In December 2021\, Addie Tahl\, Pauline Massimo\, Gestalta\, Caritia\, and Sophia Rose launched a long-term project which consists of almost 10 hours of material documenting the abuse of power and the harm it does to people doing ropes. #InRopesToo is an archive of knowledge\, breadcrumbs\, and a look at the systems of power that are in place. \nKarada House stands in solidarity with this project and would like to continue the conversation it has started. In this session\, the #InRopesToo members will talk about systems\, structures\, and practices that cause harm and protect those responsible. The goal is not revenge or outing\, but education\, prevention\, and healing. \nContent Warning: Whereas this discussion is more about systems\, it will be impossible to not also talk about abuse and harm. \n  \nAbout #InRopesToo: \n#InRopesToo is a project created to provide healing space through the intersecting stories of four individuals whose lives crossed in the rope field. People who lost touch\, due to colliding disparities and interpersonal dynamics\, steeped in misogyny\, sexism\, ableism\, capitalism\, and financial inequality\, all of which divide and overwhelm people who are seeking community and belonging. They were brought back together by a simple question — “why are you not talking to each other?” \nThis project is their collective way of returning to themselves\, after realizing that the desire to support and be present for each other is still there\, and that the harm that took place was — and continues to be — systemic. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: items that make you feel safe and soothe your nervous system \nSolo or Partnered: both works \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Barkas & Addie
DESCRIPTION:A lot of rope bondage is pattern-based and showcases the outcome of a tie\, a finished pattern\, a finished position. \nWorkshops in rope bondage all too often focus on the construction of a pattern or the final position into which the person tying has moved the person in ropes. This workshop goes in a different direction and explores the moments in which ropes are applied to the body. The impact of ropes has a similar temporality to music\, i.e. the moment a note has been played\, only memory remains of it. In tying with each other\, the moment ropes are applied to the body\, only a memory of the impact remains. We will use this temporality to work on different modes of impact\, movement\, and communication. \nContent: \n* Introduction and opening discussion of the topic \n* Upper body tie and possibilities to move through it. \n* Hip harness and possibilities to use frictions for impacts. \n* Closing discussion \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: hands-on workshop/ demonstration \nMinimum Knowledge Level: single column tie \nWhat to Bring: ropes\, safety tools \nSolo or Partnered: both works \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Soguita
DESCRIPTION:The approach of tying hair consists of working simple structure ties and exploring the resistance and sensitivity of the scalp to the extent of those who participate in the experience. \nIt is not the ultimate and only goal to achieve a complete hair suspension\, but the nuances of experience and the technical aspects of the discipline. \nIn this class you will learn about: care in risk practices (body\, mind\, emotions)\, uses\, and personal concerns. Lark’s head\, half hitch\, pulley\, single and double braid\, hairstyle\, capillary strength\, hair and rope gag\, “mummy” and “scarf”. Scalp massages and cervical care exercises. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: lecture/discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: Basic knowledge of rope handling and care for the person being tied. The patterns of the ties are not complex but they do require a lot of attention in the details of tension and physical care. \nWhat to Bring: Hairbrush or comb\, Ropes (1 minimum). Ideally a suspension point or some point where a hoist/pulley can be generated to work the tension in the scalp. The strength of the hands can also be used. \nSolo or Partnered: The workshop is designed to work with a partner. It is quite difficult to tie your own hair (not impossible)\, that is why it’s highly recommended (but NOT excluding) to be with someone open to participate and explore this practice. \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Ceci Ferox
DESCRIPTION:This is a workshop for bottoms on figuring out what it is that you crave for when getting tied and how to ask for it. \nWe will talk about different dynamics in rope play and the bottom’s role in creating them. You will think about how you see yourself as a bottom and how you might want to evolve in the future. There will be conversations about consent and expressing desires as well as a critical exploration of how we treat our tops and dominants. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: lecture/discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: paper and pen \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:QUEEROPE 2022 Day Ticket: Thursday
DESCRIPTION:  \nQUEEROPE 2022 is a 5-day virtual conference for mostly shibari/kinbaku/Japanese-inspired bondage that is exclusively for LGBTQIA+ people and womên. \nWe welcome all roles (rigger/tops\, model/bottoms\, switches\, etc.)\, all knowledge levels (beginner\, intermediate\, advanced)\, and all styles to this gathering that aims to bring queer & female-identifying practitioners together to celebrate their love for rope and exchange knowledge and experiences. \n\nLineup Thursday: \n12 pm – 1.30 pm CET:  Maintaining your Rope and your Mental Health (Caritia) \n1.45 pm – 3.45 pm CET: Asking for What You Want as a Bottom (Ceci Ferox) \n4 pm – 6 pm CET: Focus on Hair (Soguita) \n6.15 pm – 8.15 pm CET: The Impact of Ropes (Addie / Barkas) \n8.30 pm – 10.30 pm CET: #InRopesToo Discussion \n  \nDay Pass: \n50 Euros per day pass. \nA day pass is valid for one person for the entire conference day and includes access to the recordings of the day’s classes for 30 days after the event. \nFor a full conference ticket\, please go here. \n  \n  \nFAQ: \nHow do you define “LGBTQIA+” & “womên”? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender. \nWomên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender\, heterosexual womên. \nThe word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined. \nI am not LGBTQIA+ and not a womên\, can I still attend? \nNo\, please respect that this particular event is not for you. There are lots of other events you can attend. But Queerope one is solely for people of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum & womên. \nI cannot afford the ticket but would love to join. What do I do? \nSend us a message via info@karada-house.de. If we have pay-it-forward tickets available we will make them available to you. If we don’t we will put you on a waiting list or see what else we can do. Either way\, we will find a way. \nWhat platform do you use for the virtual conference? \nWe need to use Zoom as it is the only platform available that is affordable and stable enough for bigger groups. Please make sure you can fulfill the requirements for Zoom from your side to have a satisfactory experience.  We will do our best to make the zoom calls safe by engaging all possible security features. You do not have to turn your camera on and you can use any name you like. \nThe times don’t always work for me / I cannot attend everything I want… \nThat is why we will make recordings available to you\, so you can watch & re-watch them within 30 days. \nIf I share my computer with a person\, is buying one ticket enough? \nNo. You are not paying for the computer access but for the knowledge that the facilitators and artists are distributing. Please respect that knowledge has a worth and should be compensated. \nI am all alone at the moment and have no partner. Does it still make sense to participate? \nAbsolutely. There will be a variety of topics and skills and not all of them require a partner. You can learn a lot even just by listening and watching or trying things on yourself. We will also provide knowledge and possibilities for self-tying & suspension and other solo practices.

SUMMARY:Pauline Massimo & Roser
DESCRIPTION:Pauline and Roser will share their experience of tying in movement: Restricted Movements. The fine line of restricting the body while it can move in many different ways creating an improvised dance between two dancing bodies restricted with a rope/s. \nPauline is experienced with different types of dances\, movement research\, and creative body expression\, and they have been mixing artistic movements with Shibari since their beginning when discovering the Japanese practice.\nAnd Roser has a short but going deeper experience with dances like Contact Improv and Butoh where she is connecting more with her own body without having any previous experience all her life\, finding new ways of expression besides her work as a photographer and Shibari. \nBoth will share some technical components to help and guide attendees to play with\, show some improvisation guidelines to work around on their own way when practicing\, and will demo all those concepts all together at the end. The class is practical for all levels of tying/being tied\, all bodies types\, body mobility\, and movement backgrounds(or lack of). They will offer a Q&A chat at the end with participants. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: performance & discussion \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: yourself \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\, works \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Almond Linden
DESCRIPTION:People living with chronic pain & disability deserve to feel safe(r) & welcome in rope communities. \nFor this to be more common\, we need to actively remove ableism from our rope practices. This session is for people who are NOT in chronic pain who want to be better allies to folx in pain within rope. (Although you are most welcome if you ARE in pain!) \nYou’ll learn to tie & be tied by disabled & chronically painful folx in ways that are supportive\, affirming\, and safe(r). Through discussions\, demonstrations\, practical exercises\, and take-home guides\, you’ll learn how to make your rope practice more accessible. Topics will include approaches to adaptive tying\, unique safety considerations\, props & tools\, strategies for communication & examples of ableism in rope practice. \nAlmond is a disabled\, chronically ill\, and chronically painful rope switch that facilitates the Chronic Pain & Rope Workshop Series. If you also belong to disability and/or pain communities and are unsure if you should attend this workshop\, you’re very welcome to email Almond at almond.linden@gmail.com \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: lecture & demonstration \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, ropes\, safety tools\, something to take notes. Items to take care of your body & nervous system (tea\, snacks\, pillows\, cozy socks\, etc). \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\, works \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \nAccessibility information: \n• Automated Zoom captions will be turned on. \n• The presentation will always have a minimum of 18pt font. \n• The images shown will be accompanied by a verbal image description. \n• The presentation slides will be available to download before\, during & after the workshop. \n• You’re welcome to contact Almond if you have any access needs that aren’t addressed above. \n

SUMMARY:Addie Tahl & Sloane
DESCRIPTION:This class takes a deep dive into the minute details of what makes good tension\, clean placement\, even lines\, and smooth\, effortless rope movement. \nThese absolutely fundamental (and universally applicable) micro-techniques are difficult to pin down but magic once implemented\, and make the difference between good rope and excellent tying. We will look at how to use hands more effectively\, going into details like which fingers hold tension when\, how to flip or angle rope to prevent twists\, which angles to follow when throwing rope to clear it\, how to multi-task so that one hand can accomplish two (or three) tasks simultaneously. \nWe will break down how the person tying can maneuver their hands and body to tie even cuffs (thigh\, ankle) that stay in place\, or how to tweak those cuffs better suit the needs of a tie. We will also look at techniques to prevent finger and hand injuries for those who tie. These techniques are useful to anyone who ties\, no matter their style\, and all skill levels will find these techniques useful and productive. \nBeginners are especially invited to attend as it is easier to build good habits from the beginning. Solo attendance is also encouraged\, and techniques will be taught in such a way that they can be practiced on oneself. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: discussion & demonstration \nMinimum Knowledge Level: A single column tie \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, ropes\, safety tools \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\, works \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

SUMMARY:Gandalf
DESCRIPTION:One of the most curious things about rope bondage is that it has grown in such a way that neither rope nor bondage is its most central aspect. \nAs we begin our journey into the world of knots\, frictions\, and tension controls\, it is worthwhile to pause and ask why we tie in the first place. In this workshop\, we will introduce a series of movement and rope exercises that explore a wide set of communicational resources in tying. Thematically\, they are an exploration into our relationships with each other. Technically\, they make use of some fundamental rope handling and tensioning skills. \nWe welcome absolute beginners to use this workshop as the beginning of their rope journey\, as well as experienced practitioners to come back to the basics and contemplate what brought us to tying in the first place. \n  \nDetails: \nFormat: hands-on workshop \nMinimum Knowledge Level: – \nWhat to Bring: yourself\, ropes\, safety tools \nSolo or Partnered: any constellation\,  we will mostly present partnered exercises\, but solo options will be provided as alternatives \nClass recording: yes \nThis class will be recorded (only the facilitator\, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event. \n

We have different kinds of conference tickets: \n  \nFull Pass \nRegular ticket: 150 Euros \nSupporter ticket: 200 Euros (The 50 Euros added onto your ticket will subsidize our solidarity tickets with 50 Euros. For each sold supporter ticket we will add a solidarity ticket to the pot). \nSolidarity ticket: 100 Euros \nPay-it-Forward-Ticket: 150 Euros – You pay this ticket forward and a person that cannot afford a ticket will benefit from it and get access to the conference and the recordings on your behalf. —–> You can purchase a pay-it-forward ticket here. <—- \n  \nDay Pass \nGet a ticket for a single day of the conference for 50 Euros. \nGet your day-pass here: Wednesday\, Thursday\, Friday\, Saturday\, Sunday \n  \nFAQ: \nHow do you define “LGBTQIA+” & “womên”? \nLGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity meaning: lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, pansexual\, transgender\, non-binary\, genderqueer/fluid\, queer\, intersex\, asexual\, aromantic\, agender. \nWomên describes people who are identifying themselves as female in their gender identity. People that fit this category can be part of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or not. We created this category specifically to indicate that we also invite cisgender\, heterosexual womên. \nThe word is our own creation and serves as a replacement for the word “womxn” which is now being (ab)used for transmisogynist statements. The ^ in womên represents a marker (similar to the “x” in womxn) that wishes to give emphasis to the fact that womênhood is an intersectional umbrella term that holds many different people and experiences and is not biologically predetermined. \nI am not LGBTQIA+ and not a womên\, can I still attend? \nNo\, please respect that this particular event is not for you. There are lots of other events you can attend. But Queerope one is solely for people of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum & womên. \nI cannot afford the ticket but would love to join. What do I do? \nSend us a message via info@karada-house.de. If we have pay-it-forward tickets available we will make them available to you. If we don’t we will put you on a waiting list or see what else we can do. Either way\, we will find a way. \nWhat platform do you use for the virtual conference? \nWe need to use Zoom as it is the only platform available that is affordable and stable enough for bigger groups. Please make sure you can fulfill the requirements for Zoom from your side to have a satisfactory experience.  We will do our best to make the zoom calls safe by engaging all possible security features. You do not have to turn your camera on and you can use any name you like. \nThe times don’t always work for me / I cannot attend everything I want… \nThat is why we will make recordings available to you\, so you can watch & re-watch them within 30 days. \nIf I share my computer with a person\, is buying one ticket enough? \nNo. You are not paying for the computer access but for the knowledge that the facilitators and artists are distributing. Please respect that knowledge has a worth and should be compensated. \nI am all alone at the moment and have no partner. Does it still make sense to participate? \nAbsolutely. There will be a variety of topics and skills and not all of them require a partner. You can learn a lot even just by listening and watching or trying things on yourself. We will also provide knowledge and possibilities for self-tying & suspension and other solo practices.

SUMMARY:The Elements of “Seme” VI:  恐れ Osore (Fear)
DESCRIPTION:“Seme” is much more than simply giving pain or creating predicaments as it is often translated and described to Western students of Shibari.\nIt is also not a style\, technique\, or excuse to hurt someone through roughness or carelessness. \nOn the contrary\, seme is applied deliberately\, carefully\, precisely\, sometimes boldly\, and always on purpose. Seme is about playing with limits and boundaries while never breaking them. In short\, Seme is a delicate and complex way of playing in ropes. \nIn this series\, Kanna & Kagura will deep dive into the general categories of Seme\, along with their concepts\, essential characteristics\, how to choose the suitable Shibari\, and how to play with all of these elements. \nThis series is not a set series about any particular Shibari patterns\, but rather allows students to practice with no matter what style/school of Kinbaku you like and choose.\nSo this will encourage you to pay closer attention to your desires and heart\, and make you dive more deeply into kink as a practice and pain as a sensation! \nThis Seme series will consist of 6 classes of 6 different Seme types in total: \nⅠ:痛みItami(Pain)\nⅡ:苦しみKurushimi(Suffering)\nⅢ:辱めHazukashime(Humiliation)\nⅣ:冷熱Reinetsu(Cold&Heat)\nⅤ: 快楽Kairaku(Pleasure)\nⅥ:恐れOsore(Fear) \n  \nThis event is for a single class. If you’d like to purchase the entire series for a reduced price\, please click here. \n  \nEvent Details \nDate & Time:  February 19th\,  2022\, 11 am – 1 pm CET (Berlin time) \nFormat: research lab & discussion (virtual) \nAudience:  LGBTQIA+ & FRIENDS \nLanguage: Japanese\, simultaneous translation into English will be provided \nMinimum Knowledge Level: basics \nWhat to Bring:  if you want to tie along you need ropes\, safety gear\, space\, a partner\, a hard point \nSolo or Partnered:  both (each participant needs a ticket) \nClass recording: Yes\, participants will not be recorded. The recordings will be made available for 14 days after the last live session (ending on February 26th\, 2022). \n  \nWhat else to know \n  \nAfter your successful ticket purchase\, you will be sent an email with the Zoom login data for this event. \nIf you cannot afford this event\, please check the ticket option “solidarity” for reduced ticket prices. If that is still too much or they are out of stock\, feel free to send us a message via info@karada-house.de. \n  \n

You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges. \nFriends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
