Where lived experience grows into collective wisdom.
We believe knowledge is not just gathered—it is grown.
Our Knowledge Garden is where the insights, stories, strategies, and dreams of our movements are nurtured, cultivated, and shared. We learn not from a distance, but in deep relationship with the LGBTIQ+ and sex worker communities we serve. Through participatory research, storytelling, community-driven data, and movement-centered learning spaces, we challenge extractive models of knowledge production and instead build collective power.
Every report, baseline study, CFCS reflection, grant learning, and advocacy engagement is a seed planted in service of transformation—not for institutions, but for the communities that lead us. Step inside our Knowledge Garden to explore stories, lessons, and research led by and for African LGBTIQ+ and sex worker communities. Read, learn, share—and join us in growing knowledge that moves with love, intention, and power.
