Vanessa Cole and Cissy Rock and Simie Simpson — SASS: A Community Think Journal - Issue 1 November 2022

Community Think 2022 Paperback 47 This journal is called ‘sass –’ a word often used negatively, in gendered and racialised ways – to describe someone who speaks their mind. We are using this word to describe the kind of conversations we want to have in this journal: to be bold, to talk back to systems of power, to have impertinence in the face of injustices, to have courageous conversations about things that matter, and to have fun – building joy into the work. We decided to create our own journal as an accessible platform for community practitioners. Many of the articles, think pieces and musings in this journal are reflective pieces from the work we have done this year in the ecosystem (feel free to skip to the ‘Glossary of Buzzwords’ at the end for a definition), and the relationships and collaborations we have had with others who work in this system.
