Alisha was born in Nashville, TN to a Tamilian mother and Floridian father. She was always disappointed in the narratives presented to her about who she was and what the world was like, and has always felt a deep desire to build pathways out of these limiting narratives. She studied philosophy in college and has spent six years coaching, strategizing, writing, and launching projects in order to make the world better. She most recently launched and ran a transformative $500K wraparound services & community-building program in San Francisco centered around unhoused people.
