As a woman of color of South Asian descent, I bring lived experience of the harms caused by exclusion, structural barriers, and intergenerational trauma and how they can cause deep pain and a feeling that we don’t belong to ourselves or the world we live in. With this shared experience, I am deeply called to work with people from a wide range of equity-seeking groups, and their allies, to support our collective healing and empowerment in taking our place in the world.
