Sandhya Ghai

As manager for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at MOSAIC, Sandhya Ghai is passionate about achieving mindful inclusion and fostering safe and brave spaces for individuals and organizations to learn, unlearn and relearn. She strongly advocates that any organization can be truly equitable only if all its employees take on an individual as well as a collective responsibility towards systemic change.

Her lived experiences coming from India where there is race, class, gender, age, religion, education, and all kinds of inequities that one can think of to Canada that at least outwardly celebrates diversity and inclusion have sparked an interest in her to delve deeper into the realities of one’s identity and how it can be both empowering and oppressing.

Sandhya holds an MA in Adult Education (University of British Columbia, 2007) and an MA in English (India, 2000). She is a certified Intercultural Practitioner (Norquest College, 2018). Being immersed in the EDI space for over 5 years, she is grateful to witness the needle shifting from merely raising awareness to having courageous conversations and meaningful impact.
