Iman Qureshi, Founder
Iman Qureshi graduated from University of Michigan school of Ross in 2023 and is now working as an investment banker in New York. She began the club at International Academy Central. After hearing a podcast many years ago about how bias that was quietly spoken about at home is now openly discussed, it occurred to her that children learn this quiet intolerance at home before they even begin attending school and interacting with others. It inspired her to create a grassroots initiative.
