Cierra Hinton

Cierra has an undying love and passion for the complex South, which she brings to her work as the Director of Network Building and Operations at Press On. She has found community across the South, including in Tennessee and Mississippi, but calls North Carolina home. Before joining the team at Press On, Cierra worked as a development officer at a number of education non-profit organizations. Her work as a fundraiser is fueled by her deep understanding of the inextricable connection between money and access; it is her personal mission to get access to folks that share her identities, namely Black, queer, folks, especially women and femme identifying people, from rural and low-income communities. In addition to her work at Press On, Cierra is also the publisher of Scalawag magazine.
