Danae Laura, Bazaar Program Manager, comes to Cultural Survival from a decade of social entrepreneurship and marketing in both the natural food and wellness industries. Danae studied Social Justice and Education as a Martin Luther King Scholar at New York University, lived abroad in Ghana as a Gilman International Fellow, and was recently recognized as an emerging scholar by the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society for her work at Lesley University where she is studying mindfulness as a tool for social justice.
Danae is also an Associate Trustee on the Board for The Scholarship Fund of Concord and Carlisle, which she joined after becoming a Named Fund Donor with fellow alumni who fundraised to establish an endowment for students of color graduating from their high school. Danae became part of the Bazaar vendor community as a representative of Theo Chocolate in 2009. Since then, attending the Cultural Survival Bazaars has been a special annual tradition due to her love of travel and connecting with people across diverse backgrounds.
When she is not at Cultural Survival, she is introducing people to yoga at Cambridge Health Alliance. Reach Danae at danae@cs.org.
