Founder of Global Sisterhood Day and the Center for Devotional Leadership. Devotee of a more relational and regenerative world.
My father's side is Tamil, South Indian, and were members of the resistance movement against South Africa's apartheid. They escaped, some as targets, and built a new life in Canada, where conversation of liberation was a feature of our family gatherings.
My mother lives with a chronic illness, which was part of the fabric of our lives. Her passion for democracy had her pursue a career in public service, designing and administering elections, and traveling with the UN to consult on nations' first attempts at democratic elections.
I was taught that:
My actions and my advocacy
mattered, deeply.
Our personal freedom is
bound by our collective
liberation.
I WAS BORN A BRIDGE.
I am the first biracial person in my family lines. Growing up biracial and bicultural shaped my proclivity towards seeing things from many angles. It shaped my compassion, my curiosity, my acceptance, and my interest in bringing people together across difference.
It also brought many questions about...
....As a single mother of two young children, as a newbie land steward, as someone with a passion for weaving beauty and care as I go.
FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS
I’ve been walking with deep-hearted, visionary, culture-making women: entrepreneurs, healers, and artists who are committed to giving their gifts in service of a more just and beautiful future.
I didn't walk the path of C-Suites or MBAs. Instead, I have honed my craft through intensive trainings and studies with elders, mystics, incredible teachers whose wisdom lives in my bones and informs every space I hold, and the deep claiming of my ancestral gifts.
Devotion is the deep care that honors all beings.
It’s tending to our bodies, the soil, and the children; listening to the wise unseen; honoring our ancestors; aligning with what truly matters.
It’s stepping up and stepping back.
Caring for self and others.
Tending the relational field between us.
Leadership is not about being in charge—it’s about being in relationship. It’s asking again and again:
Is the way I’m showing up an expression of my deep care?
Real leadership is communal, creative, and considerate of all life. It doesn’t require performance or perfection—it invites presence, integrity, and interdependence.
We hold the vision for a better world and practice living as though it's already arriving—through the ways we relate, create, collaborate, and lead. We make room for the unanswerable questions, and we lean into the discomfort that transformation brings.
To me, that is Devotional Leadership.
