Aamera Siddiqui
Aamera’s experience with Diversity began very early in life. By the age of thirteen, she had resided in five different countries in three different continents. Her experiences as a “global nomad” in Tanzania, Zambia, India, the United States and North Yemen provided experiences in multiple cultures, languages and religions. All of this sparked her strong interest in the field of Intercultural Competence and Diversity Education. As Co-Artistic Director of Exposed Brick Theater, Aamera has written over 60 customized plays and corresponding workshops for both public and private schools. Aamera also served as the Diversity Coordinator at the Blake School, has worked extensively with low-income students through federally funded academic support programs designed to increase student retention and access to post-secondary education.
