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.

Learn more about the affinity group here or check out their Instagram page @pndaffinity.
