your big sis.
I am a real-life big sis, here to bring positivity and continue to open the door for tough conversations within our community. I am actively grieving, healing and discovering how to become the best version of myself. I'm learning quickly that this is a lifelong task. My ultimate goal is that everyone finds their inner cheerleader. It doesn't matter how many supporters you have around you. When you sit in silence and self-reflect, can you look into the mirror and genuinely affirm your love for the person standing in front of you? If the answer is no, don't worry I got you!
your big sis.
3.5 Rina Madhani - Be The Change You Want To See In the World
Rina Madhani began her career in education as a service member with AmeriCorps, where she oversaw the implementation of Reading Partners’ literacy curriculum in East Harlem. She also worked as an educator at M.S. 223 and Success Academy Charter Schools. As an educator, she realized that the biggest barrier to literacy was access to books and a lack of culturally affirming spaces in and outside of the classroom.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-founded Start Lighthouse to put the power of reading back in the hands of students and their families by building robust home libraries. Rina studied at New York University (B.A., Global Liberal Studies) and the University of Pennsylvania (M.S.Ed).
