blair franklin (aka nailah rose) is a Black transfemme artist, facilitator, and echo of something ancient yet familiar. Through mediums of creative writing, movement, and ritual, she seeks to open portals to Black queer and trans divinity and reckons with the insatiable urge to just become the earth. She was previously a Gardarev Center Fellow and a TapRoots Artist in Residence with the North Carolina Climate Justice Collective. blair runs a consulting practice called Alight Alchemy, born out of a need to better sustain our movements through coaching, facilitation, and multidisciplinary healing. Her work centers the belief that the embodied liberation of Black queer and trans people, women, and femmes will ultimately catalyze the abundant worlds we desire.

Some examples of her work around movement and ritual are below.
