Pride Foundation- LGBTQ Community Foundation

I grew up in Virginia and came to the beautiful Northwest in 2004. It’s hard to leave once you get here, isn’t it? I’ve been passionate about anti-violence and social justice movements for 13 years. My passions have been fed by my mentors and peers, as well as my family and South Asian community. My roles have been to organize communities, serve on boards, train, and to raise funds. I currently serve on the board of directors for the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project and the Western States Center. I believe that stronger movements include grassroots philanthropy, community based strategies and leadership development – all things that Pride Foundation does! Aside from working for change, some of my most favorite things include hot cups of chai tea, great stories and dancing to loud music in the mornings.
