Zain Kane, Communications Manager

Zain Kane found solace and inspiration in storytelling after losing their beloved Umi, the matriarch of their family, to COVID-19.

 

As the Communications Manager at Ready Set Collective, Zain channels their grief into an opportunity to connect with community and inspire other Black and queer folks to find healing and connection through story telling and oral history.

​

Zain's commitment to storytelling and community engagement is a testament to their dedication to transforming pain into purpose. Their work at Ready Set Collective serves as an invitation for others to embrace their personal narratives, embrace their power, and build a future where Black and queer voices are heard, valued, celebrated, and remembered.
