Krystal Jagoo

Krystal Kavita Jagoo embraces her identity as an artist given the creative solutions needed for survival with a critical mind in the fat brown disabled body she inhabits. As a settler on Turtle Island, Jagoo remains intent on anti-oppressive practice as a social worker, given her field's abhorrent violations, when not committed to dismantling complicity with the problematic status quo. Jagoo has taught the class Justice and the Poor: Issues of Race, Class, and Gender at Nipissing University, and her articles have been featured in Huffington Post, MedTruth, Verywell Mind, Social Justice Solutions, and o.School. Her essay “Inclusive Reproductive Justice” was published in Volume 2 of the Reproductive Justice Briefing Book: A Primer on Reproductive Justice and Social Change. Jagoo has partnered with Scarborough Arts to offer Sustainable Resistance for BIPOC Folx writing workshops. Her visual art University Ableism Bingo was featured in Pandemic: A Feminist Response and the zine CRIP COLLAB.
