Praxis in Action
At LFPS, praxis is more than theory; it’s the living practice of transforming systems through equity, creativity, and community power. Our work bridges scholarship and organizing, imagination and strategy, to co-create liberatory futures with communities, institutions, and movements.
We operate as a studio, movement school, and consultancy, which means we both design tailored strategies and create open, accessible tools that anyone can use. Together, we bring over two decades of experience across public health, reproductive justice, education equity, and cultural strategy.
Research & Evaluation
We design equity-centered program evaluations, custom indices, and culturally grounded data storytelling.
Briana brings global health and participatory design experience, ensuring tools are accessible across cultures and languages.
Emma’s expertise in structural racism metrics, maternal and child health, and policy analysis anchors this work in rigor and accountability.
Organizational Strategy & Facilitation
We partner with institutions and movements to reimagine systems through anti-racist strategic planning, equity impact assessments, and justice-rooted theories of change.
Briana draws on global solidarity frameworks and community-centered facilitation.
Emma leads with deep policy analysis and narrative strategy.
Training & Capacity Building
We create and facilitate workshops, leadership coaching, and train-the-trainer cohorts that build justice-aligned leadership capacity.
Briana specializes in reproductive justice, Afro-descendant youth, and cross-cultural leadership development.
Emma facilitates on structural racism, abolitionist health, and racial equity.
Creative & Narrative Tools
We transform complex research into accessible and imaginative formats: zines, visual storymaps, digital campaigns, and toolkits.
Briana contributes multilingual storytelling and human-centered design methods.
Emma brings experience in narrative design and creative knowledge translation.
Partnerships & Recognition
“The Liberatory Futures Praxis Studio partnered with the Louisiana Abortion Fund to present "Criminalization is a Public Health Issue" at LAAF's inaugural Resisting Criminalization Community Symposium on Juneteenth, 2025. This interactive session explored the intersections of policing, education, and Afro-descendant reproductive health, examining how systems of criminalization impact communities across borders. As a Black women-led organization deeply rooted in reproductive justice principles, LAAF was thrilled to host this collaboration with LFPS, which became one of the symposium's most well-attended sessions, drawing community partners from Tulane University and beyond. Through embodied activities, data storytelling, and liberation mapping exercises, LFPS facilitated critical conversations about transforming harm into healing and building collective visions of care without surveillance or punishment. We look forward to partnering with LFPS on future events and continuing our collaborative work toward liberation.”
From the Co-Founders
At LFPS, our work is more than a list of services; it’s a living practice rooted in liberation. In this short video, we share what “praxis in action” looks like for us, from strategic planning to data storytelling, and how we collaborate with partners to transform systems.
