Meet the Founder

Hi there! My name is Krishna Mano and I am a sophomore at City High School in Grand Rapids, MI. Through my involvement in our community as the host of The Take With Krishna Mano and a Kaufman Interfaith Leadership Scholar at Grand Valley State University’s Kaufman Interfaith Institute, I’m passionate about playing a role in the sustainability of my generation by breaking down animosity and uplifting intercultural conversations and understanding. Apart from these endeavors, I enjoy playing the violin, reading, paddleboarding, and skiing. I hope you’ll join me in helping society find unity in diversity, even in the darkest, most polarized times.
