Aljosie Aldrich Harding’s life work has been as a teacher, researcher, librarian, organizer, and activist. Mother of three, grandmother of eight, and auntie to numerous young people across the U. S., her passion is spiritual eldering–nurturing young people and families to continue the work of building a just society. Using her skills, experiences, and relationships, she engages in dialogues with families, groups and organizations across the country to encourage and support the work of creating “a country that does not yet exist”. She continues the work that she shared with her co-worker, partner and beloved late husband, Vincent Harding. Aljosie Harding identifies as a builder of networks, a “pollinator”. Mrs. Harding was a long-time friend of Dorothy Cotton and continues to serve as a National Advisor to the Dorothy Cotton Institute.
