Anca Pasca
I'm fueled by the idea that small steps can lead to big changes in making the world a more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive place. My work in the JEDI space is like planting seeds—I'm proudest when those seeds grow into moments where people feel seen, valued, and empowered. There's nothing quite like hearing that our efforts have boosted someone's confidence or made them feel more at home. I'm on a mission to ensure that underrepresented voices aren't just heard—they're amplified. And let's be real, who doesn't want a world where everyone can truly thrive?
