Co-founder
NICOL
PEREZ
I'm at my best when caffeinated. I work at the intersection of technology and politics and I'm passionate about empowering people to have a voice in government. You'll sometimes catch me speaking at the United Nations or hosting dinners that bring people with various political beliefs together. I'm most inspired by women who lead with purpose and continuously elevate girlz around them.
Co-founder
PRIYANKA JAISINGHANI
I'm never without an erasable pen & paperback book. As I shuffle a mile a minute in the big apple, I'm forever adding fire to my soul by creating an engaging community to address and tackle society’s prevalent issues through powerful media. Catch me changing the conversation by hosting movie screenings to salons that run the gamut from women empowerment to the refugee crisis.
Program Operations Director
NASEEM
KAPDI
I'm an educator, coach, and pastry enthusiast who's found her sweet spot supporting communities of color as they navigate early career transitions. With a background in ESL teaching and a passion for curriculum design, I blend a love for learning with a knack for organization to create the perfect recipe for professional success. When I'm not empowering the next generation of leaders or immersed in words, you'll find me sipping chai with some tunes on repeat.
Team Operations Lead
LAAZIZA
KAMMAH
I'm passionate about self-awareness and helping others reach their full potential. I work as a Specialist in Data Analysis, Marketing, and Communication. Hit me up and I'll be right there!
Mentee Experience Manager
ASHLEY
LAI
I am an outspoken, creative, dog-loving, and proud Asian Canadian. I moved to NYC to pursue my dreams of becoming a fashion designer and found myself lost in the chaos of the industry. However, I remembered what was important: life is not about comparing and competing with others but only about being my best self. You can catch me biking with my dog on my back or eating my way around New York City.
Program Lead
HANNAH
KIM
I am a New York City native with over 10 years of design and product experience. I am passionate about community and personal development, especially with helping younger women find their voices. Some of my hobbies include exploring new parks, reading, and traveling.
Content & Social Media Lead
MARHARYTA TRUBNIKAVA
I do content marketing for a living and a bunch of other things (as of lately - contemporary dance and crocheting) for fun. I've had a rough journey of self-discovery, tying to find my identity and my worth. Now I'm on a mission to help girls find their voices and make themselves heard. Whenever I travel, I always make sure to take a tour of the best coffee shops in the area. And you'll most likely see me with headphones on because I listen to music a lot!
Program Lead
FAITH MASHEVEDZE
As a passionate advocate for mental health, creative expression, and personal development, I am deeply committed to fostering growth through the Storytelling Program. With a strong focus on community building, I strive to create spaces that inspire collaboration and encourage authentic self-expression. I am dedicated to making a meaningful contribution by championing mental health, creativity, and the power of human stories to drive transformative impact.
Community Lead
MERYEM BECHAR
I'd describe me as a change advocate with over six years of experience in civic engagement and volunteering. Progress is my motto, and my mission is to inspire change and ambition within my community and beyond. I’m passionate about helping people find peace within themselves and creating communities that uplift and empower. Besides that, you’ll find me exploring cultural hubs, sipping Moroccan tea, or chitchatting about yoga.
