Communications Director
Sani is the founder of a Denver-based online marketing firm that consults, develops, and executes marketing and social media strategies for locally and nationally-based businesses. Social media is her career, but social issues are what compelled her to become part of the Blue Wave Postcard Movement. Her preschool-aged children (who have also been instrumental in signing and mailing cards) are the main reason she's become active in the fight for human and civil rights, and she believes that participating in local, state, and national elections will help ensure a brighter future for the next generation.
Program Director
Sha-Mayn is a technical advisor who loves to use her skills for social impact. She has led software engineering teams at Google and startups and pursued her dream of living on a sailboat last year.
