Celebrating Immigrants And Their Contributions
through stories, talks, and workshops
Nalini Krishnankutty is a first-generation immigrant American, an engineer turned writer, researcher and speaker. Nalini believes deeply in the dignity and equality of all human beings. She also believes in the power of migration to open minds and create new possibilities for both immigrants and their new homeland. In her writings, presentations and workshops, she focuses on the history, experiences and contributions of immigrants, and the common threads connecting us all across real, abstract and imagined boundaries.
Nalini is actively countering the rising anti-immigrant sentiment in the country by developing and presenting eye-opening workshops and classes on how immigrants shaped and continue to shape the USA. She is currently building community platforms to spread awareness about our immigrant legacy, to make individual immigrants visible, and to bring them from the boundary of the circle to the center.

News & NotesIt was a wonderful experience to give a talk at TEDxPSU on "How Immigrants Shape(d) the United States." My talk examines the history and contributions of immigrants, who are currently 14% of our population, and reveals many surprising contributions to shaping the quintessential American experience. Here is the video of my talk. Please watch the video, and feel free to share!
