Neurokin Consulting and Community Care

For those seeking kinship, warmth, and understanding in a world where belonging has felt elusive

about

I am a creative, a nature-lover, an autist, a fierce advocate for those who are marginalized, a being full of love and grief and rage. Neuroqueer abolitionist, enby and pretty chill.

Community Connections

I dream that Neurokin will one day be a space of “neuroqueering” and rhizomatic connection and change-making in all of its forms. This is less about identity and more about putting hopeful, liberatory values into tangible action within our community, but not becoming another nonprofit! Below are examples of this type of action I hope to see:

  1. organize a meal train for a disabled community member
  2. help with transportation for someone who cannot drive or doesn’t have a car
  3. establish a buddy system for going to overstimulating places
  4. host a plurality support/social group
  5. host an accessible nature-related event
  6. put together an educational panel for peers on how to have safe relationships or practice mutual aid
  7. collaborate on events with other justice-centered, mutual aid organizations

I have many neuroqueer folk that I am in relationship to personally and professionally in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area and SC/NC who I’d love to add here! Please reach out via email at eliseddmoray@gmail.com or my contact form if you are one such person and want to share in the vision via co-creating resources or advertising ones you already offer.

**Please note that I will only be adding people who are committed to practicing values of intersectional disability justice, accessibility, and true mutual aid (not self-abandonment or white saviorism). And I’m unlikely to add resources that are high cost.**

Resources I can recommend in the area that are not personal/professional connections:

  1. Mobile Food Markets – The Bulb – in Charlotte, Mecklenburg area
  2. Various events for those with disabilities and state-level advocacy projects, started by an autistic woman and now a program within the nonprofit InReach – Self-Advocates of Mecklenburg and their Facebook
  3. Many types of disability services, especially for those with Medicaid who have been diagnosed with an I/DD – InReach
  4. Time Out Youth – many free supportive services for LGBTQ+ youth (and allies) ages 13-24
  5. Food not Bombs – free food distributions and various other liberatory, joyful social events and organizing
  6. United Way – 211 – Exhaustive list of services and resources for those in need in the area
  7. Charlotte Trans Health – limited free therapy and other resources for gender-divergent people 16+ in and around Mecklenburg county, for those who are underinsured or uninsured; trans-affirming healthcare provider directory and a resource page for LGBTQ needs
