Founder & Project Lead

Third generation Mexican-American, Krisna was raised in California's Central Valley. Rooted in her family's history of colonization, she has witnessed first-hand the stigmas associated with class, age, race and gender. Her passion for exploring narrative stories as a means to create social change informs her belief that all people are GLOBAL CITIZENS. This belief has motivated intentional praxis building aimed at enhancing social consciousness of the many social injustices that exist. Her travels around the globe as an International Psychology student have highlighted diverse global realities that exist and have complimented her innate desire to resist social injustice, and re-imagine a more just Global society.  

"My pedagogy, and core praxis is build upon the teachings of educators such as Paulo Feire, leaders & philosophers such as MLK Jr., Nelson Mandela and activist & writers such as Bernie Sanders, Angela Davis, Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, & bell hooks. My work is primarily centered upon the philosophies of Positive, Indigenous & Liberation Psychology. It is within the principles of compassion-building, recognizing cultural resiliency, the embodiment of cultural competency, the value of personal narratives, collaboration and a willingness to be an ally and advocate, that have most inspired me to develop this grassroots project. It is my hope to add immense value to the communities I live, work and love."

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."

-Nelson Mandela
