My Initiatives

I, Tanvi, am dedicated to my mission of educating and empowering individuals with disabilities. As a high schooler who has been hearing impaired since age four, my journey has not been easy. However, I have learned and grown significantly, becoming an independent person and a strong self-advocate. This has enabled me to stand alongside my peers on equal footing.

Coming from a working middle-class family, growing up in the USA, and attending public schools, I recognized my privilege. This realization made me aware that not everyone shares the same advantages, especially regarding disability or socio-economic status. This understanding motivated me to engage in programs where I felt a strong connection and could make a meaningful impact.

I invite you to learn about the two initiatives I am leading with the support of my family. I appeal to you all to join me on this journey so we can work together on something meaningful and fulfilling.
