A resident of the Town of Hillsborough in Northern California for more than 2 decades, Harini is the recipient of the 2020 Hillsborough Citizen of the Year Award, 2018 Jefferson Award for Public Service, and the 2021 Trailblazer Award from the California Democratic Party API Caucus.

Harini holds a Bachelor's in Political Science from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), a Masters's Degree in International Public Administration from the University of Southern California (USC), and is currently enrolled in the Harvard Kennedy School's Public Leadership Program.

Harini is the proud daughter of trailblazer Annapurna Krishnan, the first South Indian woman to climb the third highest mountain in the world, Peak Kanchenjunga, at age 16 in the 1960s in India, and receive the title "Malai Eriya Mangai" (the young woman who climbed the mountain) upon her return to her hometown of Chennai.

Harini and her husband Vikas are the proud parents of Janani, a recent Harvard College graduate, musician, and rising Harvard Law student, and Abhaya, a rising senior at USC pursuing Computer Science and music, and enjoy travel with their daughters as a much-needed break from their empty-nester routines.

Lisa and Anahita are a dynamic duo. Together they offer authentic stories of underrepresented women in their podcast Life in Our Skin. This powerfully raw podcast offers candid conversations between women who find themselves between white and black communities.

Their podcast mindfully illuminates topics including identity, culture, race, and relationships. By creating mindful awareness on these topics they are serving as champions for creating connections.

Their connection with each other is a magical combination of diversity, rich cultural history, and authentic life experiences that illustrates that all of us have more similarities than differences.

In our podcast conversation with them, we felt we were having a conversation with two old friends reflecting on our personal (and sometimes amusing) stories of being raised within multi-cultures, and navigating our way into adulthood.  

Diversity and inclusivity are at the core of Lisa’s existence.

As a multi-racial woman, raised by an immigrant mother from the Philippines and a white father with Native American roots, Lisa’s life experience, and perspective are multi-layered. She discovered at an early age that she never quite fit in anywhere, yet she was home everywhere.

From racial diversity to growing up in a predominately white, rural Midwestern town to being a first-generation college graduate to managing over $250M at the height of her corporate career to publishing a book and founding her own business, Lisa seamlessly walks with a foot in many different worlds and believes our stories are what heals and connects us.

Lisa is a mother, wife, sister, and friend whose living her purpose. Personally and professionally, Lisa values authenticity, vulnerability, and connection in her pursuit to build bridges and spread love through the lens of our stories.

Lisa is currently the owner and founder of Lisa Harris & Company, a personal development company that connects guides, and transforms women’s lives through the power of storytelling.

Lisa’s mission is to help women shift narratives and reclaim their personal power through the lens of their own life stories.

Born into a deeply rooted and rich historic Persian culture, Anahita has paved a way for herself after her family immigrated to the U.S when she was just two years old. Growing up as a Persian-American has allowed her to further her experiences and diversify connections socially, culturally, and professionally. She takes pride in her cultural background as she values the camaraderie, hospitality, and respectable community she comes from.

From childhood, Anahita has had a passion for being in the entertainment limelight. From a very young age, she has enjoyed spending time with her cousins, and immersing herself in large family gatherings.

Achieving her Master’s of Arts degree in Strategic Communication from the University of Minnesota School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Anahita has found her niche in an area that she is most passionate about and on the path of public relations and marketing.

Observing her father’s and close family members’ entrepreneurial mindset, influenced her own creative, strategic, forward-thinking as well family-centric mentality. She has integrated these core values with several platforms she owns or co-founded, including MomBoss Meet-Up which echos her deep passion for supporting fellow women & mom-entrepreneurs.

Shoshana and Adam Chaim offer an inspirational story of how they went plant-based after Adam received devastating health news. Both had always been fitness coaches and seemingly followed a very healthy diet. However, their lives changed overnight when Adam is diagnosed with a rare tumor on his kidney. Not long after, their son developed eczema, while Shoshana struggled with PTSD. Almost overnight they decided to adopt a plant-based living lifestyle.

They founded Plant Trainers and made it their mission to educate and support others about the benefits of plant-based living and fitness.

They are also co-hosts of the popular Plant Trainers Podcast, in which they share findings from their research and experience, on how others can improve their quality of life through a plant-based lifestyle.

Shoshana works with families to promote cellular healing and achieve Rockstar Wellness and helps holistic practitioners do the same. She also has a special interest in Redox Signalling Molecules and is an executive with a Redox Biotech Company and the #1 best-selling author of the children’s book, I Am A Peaceful Goldfish.

Adam is a plant-based athlete and nutrition, fitness & triathlon coach with over 20 years of experience. He is a 2X Ironman triathlete, completed several marathons, ultra runs, and swims, and has successfully helped individuals with their nutrition and athletic endeavors big or small. They live in Toronto with their 2 plant-based kids.

Alessandra is the owner and founder of Allie Tagua Jewelry, a Sustainable Jewelry Business.

Her jewelry much like her personality echos her uniqueness, passion, and authenticity.

Allie creates bold, colorful eco jewels, that give back to the environment. Materials used to create the jewelry are repurposed natural elements that include Tagua Nut, Acacia Berry, Pambil Seeds, and Orange Peel to name a few.

Her professional journey started in Ecuador. She was once a journalist by profession, an archeologist by degree, and an ecologist by heart.

When she turned 33 she bravely moved to the United States to start a new chapter of her life as a jewelry artist and designer of eco-jewelry, giving back to her community and supporting rainforest conservation.

As a designer of organic jewelry has found a way to fuse her passion for jewelry making with her desire to repurpose natural resources while creating employment for indigenous locals.

One of her visits along with the coastal towns in Ecuador coincided with when the rivers were heavily flooded after a strong El Nino Season.

In that visit, she had her ‘Aha!’ moment, which is when she decided to dedicate her life to the making and promotion of rainforest Tagua Nuts specifically along the coast of Manabi, Ecuador. The rains were forcing the loss of the precious Tagua Nuts of the palm trees. At that specific moment, she discovered her mission. She decided to help provide locals in the rural areas during the rainy season, with another way to generate income. So she travels to that area to train locals to create the jewels, so they have employment. She believes her customers feel empowered with her statement jewels, knowing that 10% of her sales also give back to education to orphan girls in Ecuador.

Allesandra has intentionally designed her business and personal life to live an eco-conscious life.

Her travels to gather materials for her jewelry have taken her into deep spots in the Amazon forest. She has educated herself about the threats to preserved areas from the oil industry and triggering climate change.

What awakens her heart is to mindfully listen to the sounds of the rainforest in the early evening. Her fondest memories of her travels include listening to the orchestra of frogs, insects, wild cats through the night, and awakening in the morning to the sounds of monkeys which sound like boisterous wind or a little hurricane echoing deep from the rainforest.

“Organic Jewelry by Allie” is a labor of love to create awareness about eco-friendly tagua nut jewels.

“I believe in the end, the value of the person is not in how many stocks has in the market or in the number of zeros in the bank account but in the many lives that person touched in a positive way.”

To her customers, Allie always says "It's about finding happiness in little things like accessorizing your outfit. I want you to smile any time you wear my jewels, if my jewelry has the power to make you smile, feel confident, and happy to be helping to create a better world for others then I have accomplished my mission in life.”

Tisha is the epitome of someone who intentionally lives to make positive changes for our earth, and those around her.

A resident of Carlsbad California, Tisha currently works for the Carlsbad Village Association and has spent the majority of her career in the Fitness Industry. On her own time, she spearheads grassroots efforts to make a positive impact on our environment. Her mission is to help people see the most simple things they can do to make changes.

Tisha was originally in school for law and changed course after working in fitness during school and seeing the effect she could have in this part of people’s lives. Over the years as she coached other women, she noticed women who struggled to try to make changes in their life, and her
empathy grew stronger.

This experience for her translated into her learning that the smallest things all start to add up. And she understood that it takes time and patience and effort to make meaningful changes; so you just have to be in it for the long haul.

It is from this experience became the catalyst for her passion for making impactful changes on how we treat our environment, our animals, and other human beings in general.

Tisha believes in micro-changes for big impact.
