Meera first joined the Y-WE community at the annual fundraiser in 2015, the moment that walking into the room felt like a hug and being surrounded by her people. Meera is a mixed-race cis-gendered woman. Her father immigrated to the United States from India, part of the wave of immigrants whose path was made possible by the Civil Rights Movement. Her mother, a white woman from Iowa, was the only woman in her law school class. These roots give her a deep understanding of what it means to create space for curiosity and introspection — and a fierce belief that young people deserve communities that see and champion them as they are.
For the last ten years, she’s been involved with Y-WE in as many roles as they will let her fill. She has served as a volunteer & mentor for Y-WE Write, Create, and Youth Leadership Council and facilitated for Y-WE Tech, Y-WE Write, and Y-WE Lead. She joined the Y-WE Board in 2026 and serves on the communications committee.
Meera is an Event Producer and Strategy Lead at Synchronicity Events, where she partners with nonprofit organizations to bring their boldest visions to life. She came to event work through political campaigns and organizing — and still brings that organizer’s instinct to every room she’s in. She believes in engaging fully and playfully, working hard, and serving in a capacity that strengthens the community. Meera continues to steadily cook her way through every recipe in Ottolenghi and Tamimi’s Jerusalem cookbook, though forward progression will pause when a recipe is worth repeating.
