Meet an Emerging Leader: Anita RanjaniAbout you: My mother forced me into a life of Indian classical arts at a very young age, much to my frustration. In retrospect, I was fortunate enough to have the best of both worlds growing up; the diversity of the American culture and the depth of my Indian roots. I graduated from Cabrini College with a degree in Political Science, though my corporate career was ultimately is in the cosmetics industry. Most recently I was at Sephora’s home office in San Francisco, working in the Merchandise Planning division. Though I LOVED my time interfacing with the major beauty houses and playing with all the colorful swatches, I left my job just over a year ago to move back to Philadelphia and pursue my passion for the arts. Professional Affiliations: Delaware County Literacy Center What keeps you engaged and passionate when it comes to arts and culture? I am so excited to be pioneering a new festival in Philadelphia this coming September; Agama, the festival of Indian classical arts. Agama, meaning handed down, is a festival showcasing the rich classical art traditions of India, as they have been handed down, from generation to generation. Intentionally designed as one of the richest and most elevated cultural experiences outside of India, we are proud to present distinguished artists in their respective fields from both the US as well as India, each having their own distinct offering. What do you find most valuable about being an ELC member? Tell us a fun fact about yourself. |
