Deep dives

Transition from Teacher to Social Entrepreneur

Moving from a teacher to a social entrepreneur was motivated by a desire to address the lack of youth participation in politics. The emotional catalyst for this shift was a realization of the barrier to youth engagement in politics. This shift resonates with many Ashoka fellows who are moved to address societal issues by personal experiences.
