Nisha Jalmi, MS (she/her) currently resides in Oakland, California and works as a Vocational Rehab Counselor. Nisha is an intercountry, transracial adoptee from Goa, India. In 2009, she embarked on an international search to reunite with her birth mother. A few years later, her journey back home was featured in the documentary, YOU FOLLOW: a search for one's past .
After the nationwide tour of YOU FOLLOW, Nisha became a public speaker, group facilitator, adoptee advocate, and published writer for PACT: An Adoption Alliance. She continues to share her personal evolution and work by other adoptees at TheAdopteediary.com.
Nisha later realized how her experience of family separation intersected with animal rights, which has led her to live a Plant-based/Vegan lifestyle to combat not only animal cruelty, but also, racism, the current climate crisis and food injustices. Nisha’s passion for adventures and education sparked her commitment to invest in traveling the world with dear friends or alone on the open road. With the current travel restrictions, she has made time to listen and heal without distractions. Nisha values The Universe, herSELF, Mother Nature, personal growth, and new experiences.
