For all of our Sahelis interested in pursuing a political career, don’t miss your chance to meet Reshma Saujani, an inspiring South Asian woman running for Congress!  Ms. Saujani is a graduate from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, is a Yale University legal scholar and attorney, and is a committed community activist. Her accomplishments include volunteering for the Clinton-Gore Campaign and traveling to South Africa, where she supported the post-apartheid government of Nelson Mandela.

Ms. Saujani’s parents are of Indian origin and are political refugees who escaped the regime of idi Amin in Uganda.  The loss of rights and freedom her family suffered in Uganda remind and inspire her to fight for those who are under-represented.  She has experience from a major law firm and hedge fund, but today is committed to improving the lives of New Yorkers in the 14^th District. Ms. Saujani’s bid is historic – if elected, she would be the first South Asian woman to serve in Congress.  There already are signs of strong grassroots support for Ms. Saujani in the Manhattan and Queens community, the campaign has raised over $403,000 for the Democratic nomination.
