Nafisa grew up in Queens NY, got some sort of degree in Ethnic Studies and Political Economy, worked in youth organizing/nonprofit, then moved to Kolkata for a fellowship. Somehow she ended up in Atlanta, getting a masters in development practice. “lots of little ideas percolating. not yet. still mush. all i know is i have to start ripping these chains, or rather all the dog collars i inherited from the american school system soon. i mean it was great, lots of gold, but goddamn it’s really time for praxis. i dont want to hate myself, or resign or fear. we are too effing bright, i know this.”
