Lisa Royer is a mother, Mema, and community organizer who turned her own survival story into a blueprint for collective care. After years of witnessing how systems fail families—her own included—she committed to building what the system refuses to: networks of real support rooted in mutual aid. From feeding neighbors and supporting unhoused families to co-creating spaces of healing and resistance, Gemini’s work centers on turning pain into power. She believes in radical love, unapologetic truth-telling, and the simple but revolutionary idea that we keep us safe!
