McKinney V Parrish (she/her/they)

Director of Communications

McKinney joined the ICC team as the Director of Member Services in 2014. After seven fun-filled “seasons” of figuring out 75 years of history and what exactly a “member service” was, they’ve transitioned to a new role. McKinney is ready and willing to tackle a massive barrier the organization faces. . . COMMUNICATION. Since the pandemic took priority over operations, McKinney will hit the ground running this Spring/Summer 2021 as the newly minted Director of Communications. McKinney is primarily responsible for Communication Strategy and Knowledge Management Support. They hope to achieve organizational goals by working cooperatively with the Communications Coordinator and Vice President of Marketing and Recruitment. McKinney hopes to dismantle the silos of central operations and remind members that they are in fact empowered to lead one of the oldest and somewhat largest student housing co-ops in the country. A big believer in the Leadership Challenge, McKinney continues to tackle the turnover and constant transitions by….

  1. Modeling the way
  2. Inspiring a shared vision
  3. Challenging the process
  4. Enabling others to act
  5. Encouraging the heart

All. . . at the speed of cooperation!

Pink Flowers (she/her)

Director of Education & Training

Pink Flowers is a Black trans artist, pleasure activist, and educator working at the intersection of performance, liberation, and collective healing. Her practice draws from ancient shamanic traditions, African trickster cosmologies, and the Brazilian Joker lineage of Augusto Boal, transforming theatre into a living laboratory for justice, imagination, and embodied freedom.

Pink integrates Theater of the Oppressed, Art of Hosting, Navajo Peacemaking, and anti-oppression frameworks into dynamic processes for group healing, conflict transformation, and civic engagement. Her work invites communities not just to talk about change — but to rehearse it.

She is the founder of the award-winning Falconworks Theater Company, a popular theatre collective dedicated to building civic capacity and advancing social transformation. Under her leadership, Falconworks has used performance as a tool to interrogate racial capitalism, economic democracy, and community power — earning recognition, awards, and citations for public service.

Pink has served as faculty at Montclair State University and Pace University and as a company member of Shakespeare in Detroit, bridging classical performance with contemporary political theatre. Across institutions and grassroots spaces alike, she is known for making complex systems visible — and for reminding us that joy itself is a revolutionary act.
