Who We Are

Frana is a racial justice consultant who holds white caucus spaces with the intent to build a community of white folks that are willing to show up for our kin and relatives of the global majority by healing ourselves from internalized white supremacy.

Frana opens community white caucus spaces for well-meaning white folks who want to show up for racial justice and need space to process, unlearn, and hold themselves accountable to continuing to notice the characteristics of white supremacy culture and how they reinforce systems of oppression. Frana is not teaching or training, but rather holding space for white folks to awaken to a new understanding of their reality and begin to see the harm they have caused and how to transform shame into action.

Frana is not the expert of anything racial justice, it’s impossible to be as a white person of many privileges. Frana is answering the call of our kin of the global majority who have asked white folks to hold spaces for other white folks to practice without causing incidental harm to anyone in the space.

Frana BA (any pronouns)

Han is a community resource advocate, practicing yogi and yoga teacher, and Executive Assistant to Frana BA. Han's role is to create ease for Frana through coordinating administrative tasks such as technical assistance, creating slide decks, writing newsletters, creating graphics, handling tech issues during events, responding to emails, drafting outreach, and less detail-oriented things like strategic planning, thought partnership, and dreaming new possibilities.

From a legacy of academic teachers, Han has been using embodiment to move beyond intellectual awareness and into action in their community resource advocacy. Training to be a yoga teacher was revolutionary for Han's learning style and allowed their purpose to serve their community by teaching yoga to slowly reveal itself. Han completed their 200 hour YTT certification in May 2024 with Jacie Sturm at Fairbanks Yoga, learning Vinyasa Yoga and Hands-On Assists.

Han’s yoga is rooted in community. While Han enjoys practicing alone occasionally, they prefer to practice in community and teach yoga to foster curiosity about yoga and the healing power of breath and intentional space. Han keeps coming back for that special post-Savana glow and feels that the rest feels best after hard work. Their classes will include intentional breathwork (pranayamas), physical poses (asana) to build heat in the body, and a guided reflection or meditation for self-study (svadhyaya). Han's mission is to lift the veil of misconception about yoga, and therefore about ourselves, by providing more than a physical practice.
