About the speaker
Raviraj is an occupational therapist, children's book author, supervisor, library educator, and teacher who believes that all the problems of this world are rooted in the structural systems of oppression rather than in communities or peoples' bodies and identities. His work is informed by Narrative practices, sensory integration, accountability practices, queer writings, children's books, his mother’s cooking practices, and his communities' ways of living. He has been consulting with communities, children, families, adults, and organizations to discover and reauthor their preferred ways of being for the last 15 years.  He is a teacher of Narrative practices and Early childhood development; and teaches in local and international workshops and diplomas. He supports the work of therapists and community health workers through supervision and consultation.

When not working you will find him dreaming about Unicorns, chatting away with friends, obsessing over a children's picture book, dancing garba to the tunes of Falguni Pathak, listening to a love song on loop, or sobbing through a romantic film.
