Help Support Jude Afolake Olubodun & His Family

Community, we are reaching out to rally around one of our own: Jude Afolake Olubodun.

Jude is a Black, autistic, disabled, trans, single parent raising two beautiful children — one of whom is also disabled and requires ongoing therapies and medical support. Despite the many challenges he faces, Jude has consistently poured his energy into advocacy, coaching, and transformative justice work. He is a recurring panelist with Mindful Behavior, where his words are often described as “taking the audience to church;” powerful, moving, and rooted in deep truth.

Within the neurodiversity-affirming and advocacy community, Jude is highly respected for his compassion, brilliance, and unwavering dedication to transformative justice. He gives so much of himself to others, and now, it is our turn to give back.

Unfortunately, Jude has recently lost his job. As a single parent, this has placed a tremendous strain on his ability to provide for his children. He urgently needs assistance to cover rent, utilities, food, and medical care for his disabled child.

Calling all neurodiversity-affirming analysts, advocates, and community members: We know times are hard and the cost of living is heavy, but together, we can make a difference. Any contribution, big or small, will go directly toward stabilizing Jude and his children during this critical time.

Jude has spent years uplifting and supporting others. Let’s come together now to uplift him.

✨ We cannot think of anyone more deserving of community care and solidarity than Jude. ✨

Please donate if you can, and share this fundraiser widely. Together, we can help Jude and his children find safety, stability, and hope.
