Ankita is a mom, wife, aunty, and sister; a peer, friend, leader, learner, neighbor, and everything in between; an aspiring writer; a yoga enthusiast; a reluctant runner. She is inspired by all that people carry as they navigate the world. Her two daughters are her greatest accomplishment and greatest love; they remind her to never stop fighting for what is right. Born and raised in India, Ankita is the younger daughter of immigrant parents. She was taught to thrive across boundaries of age, gender, language, race, socioeconomic status, and culture among others.

After working in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors for 12 years to improve impact, efficiency, and outcomes, Ankita recently launched RE.Envision Consulting, founded on the belief that communities of color need to reclaim their power, elevate their voices, and RE.Envision their futures. RE.Envision partners with nonprofits, foundations, and other purpose-driven entities to improve lives of those most underserved and overlooked through relationships, collaboration, and partnerships. By situating her work within the larger context, paradigms, and verbal and nonverbal social agreements, her work strives to shift, interrupt, and create new patterns, mindsets, and systems.
