“Something that you will find in Malika is her intersectional lens and her ability to think about people’s diverse backgrounds and experiences and how that lays bare to influence how they navigate systems and structures. That is exactly the kind of thinking that we need and the values we need in leaders who are concerned about social transformation.”
