Description
Join IMBY for a bonfire chat with Lenéa Sims, founder of Inner Work and Outer Play, and decolonial community builder!
This event, like all IMBY events (and membership!), is priced on a sliding scale-- you can read more as to why and how to pick what level is best for you here.
Lenéa Sims is a decolonial community builder, writer, and the founder of Inner Play and Outer Work – digital communities dedicated to cultivating practices for personal and collective liberation, respectively. In her work as a community builder, she helps social change-focused brands, organizations, and individuals to authentically connect their missions with their dream audiences. Her work incorporates outreach, programming, & engagement strategies and is centered upon building more equitable, transformative, and liberatory communities. Only when we learn to be in right relationship with one another, Lenéa believes, can we heal the impact of coloniality on our lives and on the planet.
Lenéa and her work have been featured in Essence, Paper, on countless podcasts, and on stage at SXSW where she spoke in 2018. Lenéa is currently pursuing an M.A./Ph.D. in Community, Liberation, Indigenous, and Eco-psychologies.

About IMBY's Bonfire Chats:
Bring your hot cocoa and s'mores sticks and gather around our virtual bonfire as we chat with inspiring individuals from across a variety of fields, experiences, and disciplines. Participate as much or as little as you want—jump in for a live Q&A with our amazing guest speakers, or keep your camera off and soak in the wisdom. Come as you are and dive deeper into topics you know and care about, or learn something you've never explored before.
At IMBY our zooms always are video optional, participation optional, breakout room optional, and always offer live closed captioning and transcription.
A replay will be sent out after the event and will be available for 2 months!
About IMBY:
IMBY is a virtual community center for people who give a shit about co-creating a more just and equitable future.
IMBY is a place to practice rest, to find nourishment, tools, and resources, and to connect with others who are seeking the same. IMBY is a place to be — to learn, soak up knowledge, connect deeply to one another — and not another membership program with a long to-do list. It's a place to be social off social media.
It's a community co-created by the members, with transparency at its core. We hold anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and anti-capitalist values (though not an anti-racist educational space; we leave that to the experts, of course). We celebrate a variety of lived experiences, opinions, backgrounds, and identities while holding our values, security, and harm-reduction at the highest importance.
We seek to be your favorite place on the Internet to kick off your shoes and slide into your slippers, to take a load off, your soft place to land, exhale, and feel seen, heard, and understood, while simultaneously being the soft space to have hard conversations.
