Aishah Shahidah Simmons is a winner of the 2020 Lambda Literary Award for 'Love WITH Accountability: Digging Up the Roots of Child Sexual Abuse' in the LGBTQ Anthology category. She is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker of NO! The Rape Documentary, cultural worker, activist, and international lecturer whose work, since 1994, examines the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and sexual violence. Her films and writings are informed by her lived experiences as a Black feminist lesbian, child sexual abuse, adult rape survivor, and Buddhist who is committed to disrupting and ending the inhumane, humanely. In late fall 2020, Aishah was named one of nineteen 2020 Soros Justice Fellows in support of the third part of her trilogy of survivor-centered cultural works that seek to disrupt and end adult rape and CSA in Black communities without policing and prisons. She is also enrolled in a two-year certification program to become a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, which she views as a continuation of her 18-year Buddhist practice.
