This episode of Social Justice Origin Stories features Kyahdric Moses. Moses, a design activist who identifies as a citizen designer, shares his personal journey toward understanding his intersecting identities and his commitment to social good through design.
Kyahdric discusses the power of storytelling, intersecting identities, and the significance of design in addressing social inequities. He shares his journey of political awakening in 2016, and the impact of mentors like architectural designer Liz Ogbu and disability design activist Josh Halstead.
Navigating the challenges of being a queer, Black man in a world not designed for his existence, Moses outlines the values behind his business, Pink Paradox Design Co, and its mission to support and uplift queer, Black, IPOC, and values-aligned businesses through intentional design strategies.
He also talks about his manifesto, 'House of Graphix,' which advocates for reimagining design education. Kyahdric emphasizes the importance of empathy, radical self-love, and radical storytelling in his work. Tune in to learn about his plans for launching a podcast, selling apparel, creating impactful community connections, and the power of intentional design in creating equitable systems.
