Her focus on the health and resiliency of our most marginalized communities stems from growing up near Chevron’s Richmond refinery and her family’s political refugee background. She is fiercely loyal to the East Bay and is working on ways to fight gentrification – especially stemming from ‘greening’ and ‘climate-smart’ development and policy. Minna has worked with organizations including Green for All, Center for Climate Change & Health, and Ecology Center. She is fluent in Persian and working on getting fluent in Spanish. Minna’s favorite things, outside of talking to people about justice, is being in the sun, laughing and making people laugh, eating good food, being in QTPOC community, performing terrible karaoke, learning about her family history, reading anything by adrienne marie brown, and spending time by the ocean.”
