Malcolm Gin

Berkeley

Hi, I'm Malcolm, and I have a number of skills, plenty of experience, many facets of identity and community memberships, and a desire to do more with that than just exist in the world. i want to contribute. I want to give others the tools they need to contribute too. I want to improve the world by writing, by providing training and learning opportunities, by making writing and ideas available for others to use, by providing tools and ideas for more creative disruption, to disrupt the status quo, to change the world for the better.
