Meet Our Board

Nasir Salih

Board Member

I am a Youth Leader and Board Member at AFRO. Growing up with immigrant parents, the importance of community and connection has been an integral part of my upbringing. AFRO has provided me with the platform to give back to the people in my community and other minority communities at large. I am forever grateful to AFRO for all the doors that they have opened for our future generation to thrive and be successful.

I am a proud mom and a Community Advocate. I have worked for AFRO over the last three years in various capacities.  I have worn many hats during the COVID-19 pandemic to support the leadership team better as we shifted how we delivered services. As a new Board member, I am excited about the opportunity to become part of the decision-making process.
