Hema is an entrepreneurial and visionary leader. I had the pleasure of working with Hema through Open Democracy Project’s collaboration with the 2018 Women Win TO municipal election campaign accelerator she co-founded. Hema and her team designed an outstanding capacity-building program that helped shape a cohort of women municipal leaders that continue to shape the political landscape in Toronto to this day. In addition to program design and operations, she was an effective spokesperson for the cause through her media appearances and social media presence.
