AĐK has been a mentor to at-risk youth for over thirty-plus years, specific to LGBTIQAA+, and has served communities of color as a social justice activist. As a published photographer, AĐK uses their creative talents to educate others about privilege, oppression, and fragility. AĐK has also served clients struggling with their identities around being an adoptee/adopted, ongoing challenges around the complexities of intersectionalities, and more recently, adolescent sexual abusers in a residential treatment program, so welcomes anyone who they feel they would make a difference with since as an adoptee themselves, they are adaptable.
