Joanna has been active for many years in the anti-racism movement, where she contributes in various ways. She regularly takes to the streets and helps organize protests for different social issues. She is often asked to manage the safety of large protests.

Joanna started giving training sessions because she believes it’s important to strengthen movements and groups by sharing knowledge and experience. “You don’t have to reinvent the wheel!” Joanna frequently trains groups on resilience against online hate, using her experiences from the anti-racism movement to ensure that new generations of activists are not silenced by hatemongers.

To relax from her activist lifestyle, Joanna enjoys watching true-crime documentaries while knitting or embroidering.
