Board Secretary
Pronouns: She/Her
Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Selamawit is a cyclical strategist, equity-centered designer, and a community member. She believes that many different relationships are required to move closer to transformation and that understanding and interrogating our relationships to money, politics, and each other are critical for social justice. She is currently the Director of Strategic Initiatives and Impact at RESCHOOL, an initiative of the Donnell Kay Foundation. Selamawit’s involvement with the Chinook Fund began with being a member of the Fall 2019 cohort of the Giving Project. Selamawit’s embodiment of self and collective freedom extends into many shapeshifting curiosities that appeal to her senses which include but are not limited to experimenting with fragrances, indulging in recipes, and dazzling in the stillness of the Colorado outdoors.
