Zohran Mamdani's 2025 mayoral campaign was a creative catalyst during my first year living in NYC.  Like many others, I found myself hopeful and magnetically drawn to a movement that aims to make our city affordable, safe and effectively governed by and for New Yorkers.

While canvassing in Brooklyn, I became connected with members of Hot Girls 4 Zohran - an enthusiastic affinity group of volunteer organizers. When given the opportunity to create social content to promote their upcoming events - I was thrilled to contribute to their energetic endeavors to educate and activate voters .

​

The "Hot Coffee 4 Zohran" series leading up to Election Day offered an opportunity to socialize and connect, assist with voting plans, while also patronizing queer-owned coffee shops. Our Sunday gatherings welcomed almost 200 excited community members & hard-working canvassers who contributed to Mamdani's historic win.
