Image 1: A beige slide with black letters that reads Welcome Emerge Fellow. There are black, brown, and cream-colored abstract shapes. A headshot is in the upper left. A photo of Mick, a fat white genderq***r person with short brown hair that is a bit messy. Mick is looking at the camera with their head slightly turned, half-smiling, with a dimple showing. Mick has brown eyes, a silver hoop septum piercing, and a plain black t-shirt. The text at the bottom details their background: Mick Moran (they/them) is a q***r, nonbinary, white, fat, disabled artist and radical full-spectrum doula. Mick is the editor of The Doula Project's zine, DIY Doula: Self-Care for Before, During, & After Your Abortion. Mick has taught workshops on reproductive justice, creating screen-reader accessible zines, media activism, and more. Mick has sometimes been referred to as a “disability doula” as they support newly disabled people in navigating the complex systems and feelings that come with a change in ability. Mick is currently creating a full-length graphic memoir about disability, Things Doctors Have Said to Me in Real Life.
