Kifah Shah

Kifah Shah (she/her) is a civic engagement, GOTV, campaigns, and organizing wiz. A nerd at heart, she loves building power and communities through data and creative strategies.

Kifah has worked in the U.S., Europe, and Pakistan on issues related to labor/economics, migration, education, and racial/social justice. Currently, Kifah is a consultant at reimagine collective, co-facilitator of RISE Organizing (Proteus Fund), and faculty at Columbia University. Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, TED, The Atlantic, Mother Jones, NPR, and more. Kifah holds a Masters in Public Administration in Economic Policy from The London School of Economics and a Bachelor of Arts in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley.

When she’s not working, Kifah enjoys constantly hosting friends/family, staring into her cat Banu’s eyes, eating too much chocolate, doing yoga, pretending to be a New Yorker, and watching TV — yes, reading books, too.
