I provide skill- and expertise-building, workshops, and advisory support. Everything is tailored to your needs, programmes, and socio-political context. I bring my cross-cutting expertise from journalism and the fashion industry to my work.

I work exclusively with participatory, decolonised, intersectional, and inclusive approaches.

My work reflects on the role of power and history. I am a queer woman from South India, and my pronouns are she/her/ella.

It is grounded in your and your communities’ realities and lived experiences and is culturally appropriate and relevant.

I use ‘niche’ approaches like feminist participatory action research, encouraging adaptive and nimble PMEL systems. I work with various partners and groups to broaden our industry’s learning.

Decolonising PMEL involves recentring the people we work with and those most marginalised, adapting our politics and approaches to ensure the full participation of everyone in our communities.

It also involves restorative justice. All my work also has a strong core of climate justice and gender politics.

I create products that can be easily implemented, such as queer MEL frameworks. Everything is created in plain English, breaking the elitist and jargon barriers that keep certain groups in privileged positions.

I want my work to contribute to systemic and sustainable change that centres people and the planet.

If our work does not actively challenge the status quo and act as a disruptor, we are complicit in furthering the inequitable systems that keep certain people oppressed – people who look and think like me.

I work to deconstruct harmful practices and beliefs and work towards intersectional change in harmony with our planet. My methodologies reflect this user-centred approach and are always localised.

Change is not linear. Nor are the ways I work. From designing feminist programmes, to evaluating mid-term strategies, to presenting the findings of an impact study, everything focusses on queer, feminist, and anti-racist work.

Learn more about why these approaches are so important to me (and why our industry needs to keep up!) in my About and Approaches pages.
