Work with us
We love capacity building, especially with intersex organizers.
Here at SLIM we're always available to speak, write, or consult about our work for intersex justice. Hans and Saifa frequently partner with medical schools, educators, activists, and media makers who want to deepen their work.
Aside from speaking on intersex, SLIM loves to see other justice-focused organizations glow up. Together we've spent decades building the media strategies, projects, and organizations driving public consciousness around the issues affecting our communities. So tap us in!
We can help you with:
Research
How do we design studies with intersex populations in mind? How can we use clinical tools while paying close attention to justice? Saifa's research centers Black, queer, and transgender populations with projects including a chapter of the Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Health and an Open Society Foundations report on intersex activism in the Global South.
Embodied Leadership & Facilitation
How do we lead from our heart and spirit? How can capacity building be engaging, insightful and critical? Saifa brings over 13 years of somatic awareness, leading individuals and groups toward embodiment in their work and personal lives.
Strategy
What happens once we have permission to dream bigger—5, 10, 15+ years down the line? Once we discover new cracks in systems of injustice, how do we figure out where to push? Saifa has launched documentaries, partnerships, and organizations for long-term change at scale.
Project & Event Design
How do we build the cool thing? How do we do that in a way that is slow, focused, and centered on our people? Hans brings a focus on accessibility to virtual and in-person planning, co-creating educational, team building, and youth events such as interACT's Intersex Youth Wellness Retreat.
Websites & Identity
How do we choose or build the right communication tools, considering technical knowledge, cost, privacy, and digital security? How do we wrangle Squarespace, Wordpress, Drupal, G-Suite, email software, or whatever platform/s we've chosen? Hans has spent 15 years building out communications tools, graphics, and custom websites for small to medium organizations.
Media
How do we make our work shine? How do we get to the heart of the stories we hope to tell? Where do we put that effort—into an article, video, social media campaign, partnership, pitch to journalists—at what scale, and why? How do we take care when exposing ourselves to "publicity" or "visibility?" Hans manages owned and earned media, including the writing of grants and reports.
