About DiDi

WHO IS DIDI DELGADO?

DiDi Delgado (Pronoun: DiDi) is a Radical Visionary and Philanthropist, Award-Winning Author and Poet, Experienced Anti-Racism Educator, Engaging Public Speaker, and a Passionate Advocate and Activist for Black women, non-men and MaGes (Marginalized Genders).

Deeply passionate about both their local and global community; DiDi believes that art and activism go hand in hand.

On A Mission...

DiDi is on a mission to dismantle systems of oppression (including white supremacy) while uplifting the voices of Black MaGes (Marginalized Genders), Black women and Black non-men.

DiDi is consistently on the front lines blazing pathways, fostering connections, and redistributing resources by providing direct cash assistance in support of the most marginalized.

A Cultural Creative...

DiDi creates, curates, produces, directs, and leads training and classes for people (i.e. white folks, non-Black POC and Latinx) who are doing the work of anti-racism, and dismantling white supremacy within themselves and their communities.

Using art and advocacy, DiDi’s aim is to bridge the gaps between the intersections of race, class, gender, sexual identity, and orientation--all while practicing radical philanthropy through direct giving models.
