DECOLONISING & SOCIAL JUSTICE
Áine is a regular panelist, guest speaker, and host on discussions of the effects of colonisation globally as well as advocating for gender equality and environment. She is astutely able to express the web of social justice issues and how they all come back to the roots of empire and colony and meets all social justice issues from this Decolonising Lens.
She comes from a long line of Irish storytellers and activists growing up on the stories of resistance and resilience. Having spent time in many circles of solidarity, she is passionate about awakening us all to our ancestral stories and truths. She is particularly passionate about activating the 80 million Irish Diaspora globally to their own stories. In leaning into their history and recognising similar stories across colonised lands, Irish solidarity globally can be an agent for change with the privilege granted to most Irish now.
