Our Story
Our Co-founders, Daizy and Sehar came together to build a connected community of South Asian women founders, creatives and professionals. As an organisation we curate programming that showcases talent and creates an environment where South Asian women can thrive. We’re also a membership based community and create opportunities for our members to connect & further their impactful work.
Australia’s multicultural programming is far behind compared to the United Kingdom, USA and India. Over the last few years we’ve connected with phenomenal South Asian women in these countries who have created safe spaces for migrant and diverse women. It has been amazing to witness from afar – founders of Brown Girl Magazine, South Asian Heritage Month, Asian Woman Festival, Brown Girl Therapy and the Juggernaut – just to name a few. We’re here to accelerate the pace of change in Australia.
We want South Asian women in Australia to know that they’re not alone in their struggles. We’re here for you. For support. To listen. To advocate and raise our collective voice. To provide opportunities to boost your career. To provide a platform to amplify voices of South Asian women.
Meet Our Team
I’m interested in all things science, research and insights-backed in shaping polity and strategies to drive social change. My work canvas has included mainstream and community health spheres as well as the government sector.
I’m passionate about fostering and maintaining connections to a shared community, through a common-unity that is underpinned by a fundamental sense of kindness and seva. This is what draws me to the wonderful work that ASAC has been pioneering for the South Asian diaspora in Australia. Growing up between cultures, countries and continents, I know this is exactly the type of inclusive, supportive, collaborative and innovative community I needed while growing up myself.
