Malkia “Mac” Devich Cyril co-directs the Healing, Sustainability and Culture Strategy at the Movement Innovation Collaborative. Mac is a Black and Left movement strategist and facilitator, award winning activist and prolific writer and public speaker on issues of collective grief, Black liberation, narrative change and power building. As the founding and former director of Media Justice, Malkia spearheaded two decades of national grassroots efforts for abolition and access in a digital age, galvanizing communities of color for an open Internet, media access, and platform accountability. In an era of rising authoritarianism and devastating mass loss, Devich-Cyril has launched the Radical Loss Project – a Black-led change lab transforming how modern freedom movements face loss and build collective power through collective grief. As a Black, masc, and genderqueer feminist, Mac is committed to building an inclusive and powerful movement in solidarity with oppressed people everywhere.
