Hello! I'm Anu - a community builder, facilitator, trainer and consultant. My work is rooted in lineages of deep connection to land, collective care, and resistance and shaped by the lived experience of navigating the world as a Disabled queer migrant. I bring over 15 years of experience across the social change ecosystems in UK and India, in movements for justice and systemic change.
I work with organisations and groups to build anti-oppressive cultures, redistribute power and resources, and grow liberatory practices from the inside out. My work sits at the intersection of radical imagination, grounded strategy, and the often unseen resistances between the world as it is and the liberatory futures we long for.
As a former fundraiser and leader in the ‘for social good’ sector, I’ve navigated (and pushed back against) its contradictions: extractive practices, white saviourism, and the harm perpetuated by institutions cloaked in good intentions. I am unapologetically committed and accountable to those most marginalised by dominant systems and oppressive cultures.
I’m particularly passionate about nurturing the collective skills, capacities, and relationships we need to practice our way into liberatory futures.
I’ve worked with organisations such as the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, Lankelly Chase Foundation, Trust for London, Racial Justice Network, Disability Rights UK, Platform London, Open Rights Group, Support After Rape and Sexual Violence Leeds, and more.
