J. A. Jones/Jake-ann Jones is a journalist at The Weekly Challenger, co-founder of Pinellas Diaspora Arts Project, member of Afroflorida Media Collective and author of Sometimes Farmgirls Become Revolutionaries: Notes on Black Power, Politics, Depression, and the FBI. She was the 2022 Artist Laureate at Creative Pinellas.
Professor Judith Scully has been teaching law for over twenty years. She earned tenure at both West Virginia University and Stetson University Colleges of Law. From August 2011 until July 2016, she was the William Reese Smith Distinguished Professor of Law charged with the responsibility of promoting public service and professionalism at the law school.
She is a passionate advocate for racial, gender and economic justice in the United States and abroad. She has travelled to over forty countries often working on human rights and civil rights Issues; and has served as a board member and advisor to a wide variety of nonprofit, community and civic organizations.
Social practice artist Carrie Boucher believes that creative expression is a human right, that all forms of expression are important, and that all members of a community collectively create its unique culture. Through her collaborative projects—NOMADstudio, Justice Studio, and SPACEcraft—Carrie looks at whose perspectives are celebrated, whose are suppressed, and why this difference exists. She works to highlight and address disparities by facilitating creative engagements, and by organizing networks of artistic support in places where people typically lack access to the means of creative production.
