Ti Abner

Membership Director

Ti Abner is a licensed Social Worker and Community Organizer born and raised in Philadelphia. Engaging in consistent analysis and meditation throughout her experiences, she came to understand that interpersonal and mental health “issues,” have generational, macro and systemic roots. Ti committed her graduate school education at Bryn Mawr Graduate School Of Social Work and Social Research to studying macro level practices and approaches to systemic change. Over that time, Ti transitioned out of traditional mental health roles and into direct freedom work with a focus on the black liberation movement. Ti utilizes a variety of traditional (mainstream)  and nontraditional resources, mediums, skills and healing modalities for the work of both internal and external liberation. In contrast to systemic processes, she recognizes the importance of Cooperative frameworks as an expression of communality. Her work centers community, understanding it is necessary for creating an environment that supports change, healing, freedom and social justice endeavors. Ti continues to share, guide and support individuals, collectives and communities in radical change efforts locally and nationally.
