The House of Possibilities

Alissa Case is a white, queer dreamer — lover of ideas and of people, facilitator and educator, leader and community member, beloved, partner, and parent. They have lived on the Dakota land known as Minneapolis for 25 years and have a deep love and reverence for this place where the people, trees, water, plants, and creatures have held, taught, nurtured, and grown them. They are honored to call Minneapolis home, to be shaped by its seasons and its struggles, its grief, power, love and brilliance.

For over two decades, Alissa has worked in education—across K–12 schools and higher education, in classrooms and in leadership.  They are a facilitator, educator (BA, MA, and PhD), creator, and gardener shaped by and growing through commitments to educational, racial, queer, and trans justice, and the broader work of revolution. Their praxis is informed by ongoing study of Black Feminist wisdom and visionary theories of change, grappling with questions of scale, love, community, and sustainable transformation, reflecting and learning through relationship, and growing practices for collective liberation.
