P&D Affinity Group
Gaya is a founding member of the Production & Design Affinity Group within Tisch Drama at New York University. The group was re-stablished in the Summer of 2020 in response to the BLM movement and fight for racial equality across the United States.
The P&D Affinity group is dedicated to creating a safe space where BIPOC artists are empowered, encouraged and celebrated, while engaging in fruitful conversations amongst faculty about racial inequities in our communities.
