✰ Justice Principles That Guide My Work

✩ Equity Over Equality
✦ I design for difference. True inclusion isn’t about giving everyone the same—it’s about recognising that diverse people need diverse forms of support.
✦ Lived complexity demands flexible systems. Equity means working relationally, not prescriptively.
✦ This approach informs every layer of my work—from creative design to leadership development.

✩ Epistemic Justice
✦ Whose knowledge counts? Epistemic justice demands we value lived experience as legitimate expertise.
✦ I challenge systems that devalue marginalised voices, especially neurodivergent communication, emotion, or perception.
✦ At Wonderland, we author our own stories—we are not case studies or passive recipients.

✩ Relational Justice
✦ Systems are built on relationships—so justice must be, too.
✦ My work prioritises co-creation, consent, mutual recognition, and psychological safety in all forms of interaction.
✦ Relational justice means addressing the emotional and interpersonal harms that structural oppression leaves behind.

✩ Intersectionality
Inspired by Kimberlé Crenshaw’s work, I recognise how race, gender, neurodivergence, disability, and other identities intersect to shape lived realities.
✦ My practice is not “inclusive” unless it’s intersectional—because no one lives a single-axis life.

✰ Thinkers & Theories That Inspire Wonderland

Much like Alice in Wonderland, where rules are arbitrary and social structures are nonsensical, these thinkers have shaped my approach to challenging hierarchies and rewriting systems that were never designed for us. 

Just like Wonderland, these thinkers question assumptions and challenge logic designed to serve power.

✦ Melanie Yergeau – Narrative & Rhetorical Agency
In Authoring Autism, Yergeau reclaims autistic narrative as an act of epistemic resistance—reshaping who gets to tell the story, and why that matters.

✦ John Rawls – Justice as Fairness

Rawls’ principles of justice emphasise fairness and prioritising the needs of the most disadvantaged. His work influences how I design inclusive practices, ensuring those who are most excluded are centred in decision-making.

✦ bell hooks – Education as Liberation and the Practice of Freedom

bell hooks believed that education should be a practice of freedom, not control. Her work aligns with my mission to create spaces where people are empowered to challenge dominant narratives and express themselves authentically.

✦ Paulo Freire – Critical Pedagogy & Co-Creation of Knowledge

Freire’s concept of critical pedagogy centres dialogue and mutual learning. His work shapes how I build community-driven solutions, ensuring that those affected by injustice actively participate in dismantling it. Dialogue and co-authorship are cornerstones of my work.

✦ Kimberlé Crenshaw – Intersectionality & Systemic Oppression

Crenshaw’s work on intersectionality highlights how overlapping identities shape access and discrimination. Her framework reminds me that no systemic change is complete unless it recognises the full complexity of people’s lived realities.

✦ Miranda Fricker – Epistemic Injustice
Fricker defines how marginalised groups are often discredited as knowers. I challenge this through storytelling, authorship, and structural change.

✦ Fiona Kumari Campbell – Contours of Ableism
Campbell shows how ableism is embedded in “normal” and “reasonable.” At Wonderland, we replace those norms with curiosity, access, and wonder.

✰ How Social Justice Shapes My Work

✩ In Creative & Educational Spaces

✦ I design neuroaffirmative, relationship-based environments that question compliance and celebrate curiosity.
✦ Storytelling and creative collaborations all incorporate diverse perspectives, ensuring that neurodivergent and marginalised identities are uplifted - tools for agency—not assimilation.

✩ In Relationships & Collaboration

✦ I centre shared power, psychological safety, and relational empathy.
Whether with families, systems, or institutions, the goal is always mutual transformation—not one-way “support.”

✩ In Policy & Structural Advocacy

✦ I engage in systemic advocacy to influence policies, challenge stereotypes, and dismantle discriminatory practices.
✦ I advocate at governance and policy levels to expose invisible harm and rewrite exclusionary rules.
From EHCP processes to complaint mechanisms, I push for systems that recognise relational trauma and narrative erasure.

✩ In Community & Collective Practice

✦ I work to create strong, trauma-informed, inclusive communities by leveraging collective strength and fostering shared visions of justice

✦ I promote communities that honour weirdness, welcome contradiction, and prioritise belonging over performance.
✦ My work is about empowering people to redefine their futures, rather than conforming to limiting systems.

✰ Alice’s Wonderland as a Justice Space

Commitment to Justice, Equity & Wonder

This platform was never designed to fit the system. Alice’s Wonderland is built on a refusal to accept the status quo—and a belief in radical possibility.

Just as Wonderland challenges nonsense rules, absurd hierarchies, power structures, and restrictive logic, my work confronts the systemic barriers that prevent people from existing, expressing, and thriving.

I use creativity, curiosity, and relational justice to reimagine how society can serve everyone—especially those who have been historically unseen and unheard.

✧  What if we stopped accepting the way things have always been—and started asking what could be possible?
✧  What if we prioritised inclusion, not as an afterthought, but as the foundation for every decision we make?
✧  What if we built a world where wonder and possibility weren’t just dreams—but realities?

I too question why the systems we’re forced to navigate make so little room for authenticity, divergence, and emotional truth.

✧  What if justice began with relationship—not rules?
✧  What if we centred emotion, story, and difference in how we design society?
✧  What if Wonderland wasn’t just fiction—but a blueprint for what comes next?

➽ In a world that often seems as baffling as Wonderland, we have the power—and the imagination—to rewrite the rules. Let’s build a more just, inclusive, and radically reimagined future together.
