I am a feminist* scholar and artist.From 2017-2021, I worked in the Office of the Mayor as the inaugural Executive Director of the Pittsburgh Gender Equity Commission.Previously, I spent much of my career as a college professor teaching courses in a wide range of global topics and collaborating on diversity initiatives. My peer-reviewed publications include a book about belonging and the American Dream. https://tupress.temple.edu/books/how-to-be-south-asian-in-americaIn 2014, with invaluable support from my family, I founded the social enterprise Inclusant. As the Chief Education Officer, I designed opportunities for co-learning and building community. Additionally, I advised leaders from hundreds of organizations about cutting edge research focused on workplace equity. With the support of local subject matter experts, Inclusant contracted with 100+ clients to support internal DEI initiatives. Approximately 15% of Inclusant’s annual commitments were to pro bono community empowerment initiatives. From 2017-2020, Inclusant sponsored an experiential learning program called Creating Confluence, focusing on diversity leadership training. The original curriculum is research-based, evidence-driven, and intentionally highlights the perspectives of radically diverse people. Creating Confluence was co-created with regional leaders Lizzie Anderson (facilitator/therapist/activist), Leigh Solomon Pugliano (artist/social entrepreneur/founder of the Equity | Impact Center), and Monica Ruiz (Latinx community organizer/E.D. of Casa San Jose). In 2022, responding to the cataclysmic social changes of COVID, Inclusant designed live online education about equity in the workplace. What people need now (and always) is more spaces to connect with and learn from each other.* Feminisms are diverse. Ask me about my approach to feminism: www.inclusant.com.
