Campaign Lead

Angela Henderson is a lifelong student of anti-colonial struggle and internationalism hoping to live the life she plays about. Growing up in the suburbs of Nashville TN, she observed pitfalls of class contradictions as a young Black person. As a student, her first community organizing experience began her political awakening.

In the spring of 2018, SONG welcomed her into a new political home. She has worked with SONG as a member, Lorde’s Werq cohort participant, Nashville fellow, Political Education Working Group coordinator, Tennessee Statewide Organizer, and now Campaign Lead.

When it comes to her people–Black people, Queer and Trans folks, caregivers, nerds, children brought up in movement, freedom fighters from around the world, artists, formerly and currently incarcerated loved ones, and elementary school teachers — Angela is a commitment to recognition of our brilliance, of our interdependence, of our shared duty to fight for our freedom, and of our collective capacity to transform.
