Abolitionist Dreamscapes
How do we break the things that don’t work for us while dreaming of things that can?
What does it mean to strategically dream what freedom looks, sounds, and feels like?
Can we allow ourselves to play in the dreamscape(s) and bring those dreams into reality?
If we are our ancestors’ wildest dreams, how do we dream WITH them as a liberatory practice?
These are some of the questions I explore in my Patreon as a way to create a space for people to imagine our world differently and then dare to bring those imaginations into reality. Subscribe to learn more and have access to exclusive content.

Dr. Nicole Truesdell
Welcome! My name is Dr. Nicole Truesdell and I am an anthropologist, astrologer, poet, and strategic dreamer.
I use my knowledge and training to deconstruct societal mindsets and imagine a world without oppressive systems governing us. I obtained my Ph.D. in Anthropology from Michigan State University in 2011, specializing in race, racism, citizenship, and the nation-state. I previously taught and worked at Michigan State University, The University of Bristol (UK), Beloit College and Brown University before leaving higher education in 2021. You can read more about me here.
My work and offerings are multifaceted.
I am the founder of Truesdell & Associates, LLC - a boutique Executive Strategy Firm. With a focus on creating clarity, choice, and action through a humane lens, I offer cultural and organizational strategy services to individuals and organizations/businesses alike through a process I call “strategic dreaming”.
I am really interested in exploring the question: What does it mean to be human? And to answer that one must go on a ride through space and time and understand how we became a society that values dehumanization in the first place. This is where my creative work “Abolitionist Dreamscapes” comes in. As the creator of Abolitionist Dreamscapes, I help others break the things that remove us from our humanity and do not allow us life while dreaming of other ways of living in the now through my podcast, Patreon, writings, speaking, astrological analysis, creative projects, and active social media presence, where I discuss a wide range of topics including the concept of the human, ancestors, and society. My multidisciplinary approach allows me to bridge the gap between academia and spirituality, offering a unique perspective that challenges existing norms and encourages individuals to imagine a world free from oppressive systems. I am currently working on my first book, “Planting Seeds of Abolitionist Dreamscapes”.
My passion lies in my commitment to social change and the belief in the transformative power of imagination and dreaming to have us come back to our humanity.
ABOLITIONIST DREAMSCAPES: THE PODCAST
(LATEST EPISODE)
Hey folks! I am back and this time it is just me and you as I talk about exchange and transaction. And here I argue that solidarity and coalition building require contracts and an understanding that we are all engaging in an exchange and transaction of some kind, so it needs to be stated and clearly understood. This is not capitalism, instead it is acknowledging capitalism has us all messed up and use to exploitation, so another way is being tried. Have a listen to hear more about this! Check out my podcast playlist for interviews I have done on other platforms that speak more on capitalism, work, and why we have to break our attachments to it.
