Devi Ekanand

As a South Asian immigrant who arrived in Canada at the age of 2, Devi witnessed the transformative power of resilience and community support. Her journey, interwoven with her mother’s journey from escaping domestic abuse to becoming a single mother of three who completed her education and became a social worker, fuels Devi’s commitment to NYCH’s Board of Directors. She is enthusiastic about contributing positively. Her mother’s story exemplifies change amid adversity, inspiring Devi to facilitate community transformation. Her music and entertainment background equips Devi for innovative campaigns that engage hearts and minds, driving awareness and action. NYCH’s mandate aligns with Devi’s aspiration to pay it forward, and her diverse background promises a unique perspective. Devi is thrilled to be selected as a board member, eager to channel her passion for NYCH’s mission.
