Founding Executive Director

Mariam S. Armisen is a feminist activist, social researcher, writer, and strategist. For nearly two decades, Mariam worked with underserved communities through ground-breaking initiatives and partnerships with feminist, queer, and human rights foundations, groups and movements. Mariam probes, (re)imagines, and collaborates with other to co-create lines of inquiry and approaches that bring forth other possibilities in activism, by paying attention to and embracing the seemingly insignificant and the spiritual dimension of our modes of engagement for transformative change.
