Picture
Lisa K. Hoffman
Lisa Hoffman is an activist with more than twenty-five years of experience partnering with visionary organizations in the U.S. and around the world to build intercultural leadership, gender equity, and long-term social change. Some of her areas of expertise include prevention of violence against women, disability rights, bio-cultural preservation, and youth-led social change. She is passionate about co-creating spaces for people to connect and heal from systemic oppression and trauma so that we can all build thriving communities. An ally to the disability community, she has worked with KASA, a youth-led disability rights organization and has collaborated with the Silicon Valley Independent Living Center to facilitate an organizational transformation from disability rights to disability justice. In 2011, she was part of the planning team for the first U.S. Race and Disability Forum. Since 2012, she has been partnering with grassroots human rights organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean to build skills to use communications for social change. In addition to her training and activism work, Lisa is an artist, energy worker, and mother.
