Independent (Aditi Padiyar)

 Toronto

As a South Asian woman and defiant feminist, I aspire to integrate my personal politics in my work. I believe in institutional change instigated by advocacy and shift in public policy influenced by movement building and community-led effort. It’s my conviction that aid provided in the form of skill can be of crucial service which is my primary motivation behind being a Catalyst and I bring my feminist fundraising and participatory grant-making skills to the community.
