Announcement

Change is an inevitable part of life and with it comes the opportunity for growth, renewal, and new beginnings. As we step into 2025, we are embracing a significant transition within the PDDC organization. Beginning in March, Elle (Lori) and Nicki will be stepping down from their roles in the Collective. The future of PDDC is now in the capable hands of Kai Wonder, and we cannot wait to see what they will dream up.

This transition comes as a natural response to myriad changes in our respective lives. It has been made thoughtfully and with deep love, hope, and the warmest of wishes for what comes next. We are incredibly proud of what we have built together and are honored to pass the torch to someone as passionate and visionary as Kai.

For those who have followed Elle’s work in content creation and social media, there will be some changes ahead. They will be continuing to explore their relationship with these spaces, and as a result, our existing Instagram account will be renamed. You can continue to monitor those accounts for details on this shift and how you can stay connected with both Elle’s work and, separately, the future of PDDC. We will be linking each other consistently so that the delineation is clear.

We also want to take a moment to acknowledge the ways in which this transition process has impacted our responsiveness. We recognize that we haven’t always been the most timely in managing communications, answering emails, or responding to inquiries during this period of decision-making. If this has affected you, we sincerely apologize. Please know that we deeply appreciate your patience, your support, and your continued presence in this space. You matter to us, and we value the relationships we have built here.

Amidst all of this change, one thing remains constant: our commitment to liberatory work and to all of you who have been part of our journey. There is excitement and joy in this transition, and we hope that comes through in our announcement today. We are grateful for each and every one of you — for your support, your solidarity, and your willingness to walk this path with us as we all navigate an ever-changing world.

Thank you for everything. We look forward to continuing the fight.

With love and gratitude,
Elle, Nicki, & Kai
