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. Happy International Women’s Day. It’s the 100th anniversary the world’s biggest co-opted holidays. Hope you have some time to join in the festivities for commemorating women workers struggle near you.
If you’re in Cal, see you at the march on Hazra More at 5pm (2pm for street theater and some “bhashons”/speeches) and then later on, Jadavpur University is celebrating IWD for 3days with lectures and womens’ theater fest.
On a completely unrelated note, I’ve had hives on my fingers for two days now. Ehehe. They always happen on my fingers.
