Shreya, 26, is an organizer and artist currently based at the Broadway Youth Center (BYC), where she has spent the last three years. She works as a sexual health educator, co-facilitator of the peer advocate program and youth worker (who gets to hang out on the regular with amazing young folks in BYC’s drop-in space). She looks forward to graduating from the Institute of HIV Prevention Leadership, becoming a certified SisterSong doula and starting a masters in sexual health within the next year.
Shreya’s dream is to spend her days organizing with queer communities of color through storytelling. She hopes to use sound and film to address things like sexual health, healing, queerness and collective struggles against all forms of violence. Shreya is currently working on two sound projects: Q & (s) A (an oral-history project about queer and South Asian folks) and Everyday Healers.
Did you know? In the last few years, Shreya has taken classes in both singing and clowning, although her sister still cringes whenever she attempts either.
