Seattle Dyke Alliance Organizers
President: Madi
She/TheyTo me “Dyke” means standing up for queer people and queer spaces, and protecting people who aren’t cis- or straight and love each other. Reclaiming the word allows me to feel connected with the history of everyone who fought for the rights I have now as a woman, as a lesbian, and as a queer person. Being a Dyke is beautiful, in all it’s forms, and deserves to be celebrated.
A fun fact about me is that I used to design and build sets for theater and short films in my spare time. (Now I mostly spend it getting ready for grad school round two, reading, and taking care of my plants).

She/Her
To me “dyke” represents a place comfort, strength and solidarity. To live as a dyke is to live honestly, openly and freely thanks to the womxn and femme aligned people who have fought for my rights to exist. To exist in dyke spaces is to continue uphold these rights for all queer womxn. I see the word Dyke as a commitment to provide a space where dyke aligned people can feel welcome, comfortable, and supported.
A fun fact about me is that I’m very passionate about Italian horror from the 70s and 80s.
Secretary / Communications: Logan Allen
She/They
Being a Dyke means living an authentic life to our queer selves. It means carrying on the legacies of the womxn and trans folx and being the living history of the Dyke community in how we exist and grow. Being a Dyke to me specifically is showing up for my community of dyke- and sapphic- aligned communities. I’m a woman who loves queer folx who identify under this umbrella. And also where would my Dyke self be without loving the woman that I love too 🧡
A fun fact about me is that I’m on my way to becoming a therapist, and hope to work with queer youth and grief counseling for the queer community!

Dyke, for me, is a word that our community has reclaimed. Once a slur, now we use it proudly to let folks know who we are and that we aren’t here to sit by quietly but instead to participate in making change happen in our community, be that locally or nationally, in support of what is right.
A fun fact about me is that I’m always wearing fun socks.

The word dyke ignites a fire deep within me. It means loving boldly, fiercely, and without reservation, no matter who’s watching. Dyke is loving women with every ounce of pride and passion in my soul, standing tall in who I am—unapologetic, unafraid, and free. It’s about never dimming my light for anyone. It’s about embracing my truth, my love, and my community with unwavering strength and support. Being a dyke is fighting for our right to exist, to thrive, and to celebrate the beauty of who we are, together, as one.
A fun fact about me is that I am an avid penpal-er! I write pages on pages to friends, strangers, really anyone who will read. It fulfills my angsty Victorian soul!
