a little bit about rusia<\/h3>\n

\"jadu_mia\"<\/a>\u201cMy grandfather was the founding father of the Bangladeshi Independence struggle. He was an organizer & politician popularly known as \u2018Jadu Mia\u2019 (Magic Man). He would often tell his children,<\/p>\n

\n

\u2018The people are the source of all power!\u2019<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

My mother raised her children with this as a foundation for understanding the world & what united peoples were capable of doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development of UP was a direct response to a call from Dayanara Martes +\u00a0Wanda Salaman<\/strong>, Executive Director of Mothers On the Move, & women of color leaders on the East & West coasts whose work is hampered by the economic, social & health disparities that plague the communities they serve & live in. Our work aims at untangling the internalized oppression, trauma & violence at the heart of this problem. We understand the importance of creating safe spaces & training that bridges healing & social justice in order to have well-grounded, effective leaders in the non-profit world.<\/p>\n

\"rusia2\"<\/a>Rusia<\/strong>\u00a0N. Mohiuddin<\/strong>, based in New York, is a trainer, facilitator, & somatic coach who pioneered the integration of somatics into an organizing framework. Her current mission, through UP, has been developing a holistic model for social justice change work that places in its center the necessary transformation of social change agents. Rusia brings a unique style to creating pathways for individuals to bring their best selves forward when enacting social change in their organizations & communities.<\/p>\n

Over the last 20\u00a0years, Rusia has primarily worked in non-profit, community-based organizations across the U.S. Her organizing career started with 8 years as a street-level community organizer, & grew to leading organizations, notably helping to establish Families United for Racial & Economic Equality & co-founding the national intermediary, Social Justice Leadership. Through this experience & her many years as a trainer, coach & consultant, Rusia brings a well-grounded expertise of basic to advanced organizing training as well as organizational & leadership development.<\/p>\n

Rusia is also a proud nerd & is skilled in graphic design, photography, website development, video editing, & has worked with many organizations across the country as an IT specialist.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” vertically_center_columns=”true” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#ffffff” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner enable_animation=”true” animation=”flip-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]\n

Why I love what I do<\/h3>\n

like my mother + grandfather, I believe in the infinite power + love of all people. through my own 12 year change process, I have come to deeply understand the critical importance of inner work mandatory for effective change in the world around us.<\/p>\n

too often we default to comprises + sacrifices in the name of liberation, in the name of our communities, forgetting that, we too, are amongst those we seek freedom for. that, we too, are a part of the very communities we bleed for in our relentless, ceaseless fight. too often, I must remind people that we must be alive to do this work. alive, physiologically AND spiritually.<\/p>\n

this is my calling. this is my life’s purpose.<\/p>\nFacebook<\/span> <\/i><\/a>\u00a0 Twitter<\/span> <\/i><\/a>\u00a0 Google+<\/span> <\/i><\/a> \u00a0Instagram<\/span> <\/i><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color=”#222222″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1\/2″]
