Zia Nisha

Hi, my name is Zia Nisha! I am a 4th year Psychology major and this year’s Health Equity Liaison. I identify as a first-gen college student from an immigrant family. Growing up, I learned the importance of heritage and representation. I believe support doesn't just stop at academia; it also continues into social and mental wellness and community relations. My mission as a part of Lotus Mana Center is to combine the many cultures and experiences of the diaspora together with our dimensions of wellness as students. The AAPI diaspora is beautifully diverse, and I hope to be a part of building a space for that representation!

Region in the diaspora I identify with: Fiji (Indo-Fijian)
