About Priya's Team

*A tutor since middle school – teaching Algebra, Spanish and English
*A public service scholar
* A volunteer for a rape crisis center, a suicide hot line, for Americorps and Dress for Success
*Co-President of Active Minds, an organization devoted to de-stigmatizing mental illness in college campuses
*A rape survivor who took part in The Courage Project, which featured photos and testimonials of victims of sexual assault and who fought hard for survivors of sexual and relationship violence to be believed and supported
* Co-captain of her college Bhangra team who loved dancing and competing
*A proud member of her high school and college Honor Court
*Passionate about mental health, social justice and women’s issues and marched for causes she believed in
I am proud to be her mother and proud to walk in her memory to help others like her. Hope you will join me.

Why am I fundraising?

Priya's Team I lost my daughter Priya to suicide in January 2016. I would like Priya to be remembered for how she lived and not for how she died. She was very open about her illness and passionate about helping others like her. She was co-president of Active Minds at Carolina for 2 years and also volunteered for other mental health initiatives. Continuing her mental health advocacy in her name is important to me. Hope you can join the team or support the team. You can read more about Priya here
