Community Building

The South Asian diaspora in Boston comes from a variety of ethnicities, religions, and languages. But we also share geographies, cuisines, and similar traditions.​

​

We are bringing together women from these diverse communities to make their presence felt in greater Boston by providing a platform to address issues, and highlight our cultures, traditions, similarities and differences.  

​

Our approach includes:

​

• Connecting our communities to each other
   

  • ​Through our many community events, people make friends, connections, exchange resources, and help each other. ​​
     

• Addressing intra- and inter-group biases through story telling
  ​

  • Holding get togethers, such as "chai addas" (conversations over a cup of tea), games, and conflict-resolution workshops for people to share experiences, address stereotypes, and learn. ​
     

• Developing leadership opportunities through capacity building
  ​

  • Helping community members take initiative to help others, share skills and resources.
     

  • Provide workshops to build skills such as in computing and digital literacy.​
