Mia Mingus is a writer, educator, and community organizer for transformative justice and disability justice. Mingus is a queer physically disabled Korean transracial and transnational adoptee raised in the Caribbean. She works for community, interdependence, and home for all of us, not just some of us, and longs for a world where disabled children can live free of violence, with dignity and love. Mingus helped to create and forward the disability justice framework. Her blog, Leaving Evidence, has become a valuable resource for those wanting to learn about disability. Her writings on disability have been used around the world and are part of college and university curricula.

Mingus has played a key role in connecting disability with other movements and communities, and she has worked tirelessly to educate different communities about disability, ableism, access, and abled supremacy. She has been at the forefront of transformative justice work for over fifteen years and is a founding core-member of the Bay Area Transformative Justice Collective (BATJC), a collective working to build and support transformative justice responses to child sexual abuse. She writes, speaks, and has helped to train communities and groups across North America on transformative justice.
