Trisha Sakhuja-Walia

Trisha Sakhuja-Walia is a digital content creator and social media strategist with a knack for event planning and community building. Her day-to-day consists of managing more than 200 contributors, editors and social media managers, and overseeing business development at BrownGirlMagazine.com. Raised as an Indian-American in the suburbs of New York City, she is proud of her hyphenated identity and continues to find unique ways to empower young womxn living in the diaspora.

Having spoken at various South Asian-led community events and forums at The Wing, General Assembly, Disney Junior, Columbia University, Michigan State University, and Yale University to name a few, Trisha is continuously striving to amplify the reach of Brown Girl the traditional way — word of mouth.

Born out of the lack of minority representation in mainstream media, Brown Girl Magazine, Inc was created by and for South Asian womxn, who believe in the power of storytelling as a vehicle for community building and empowerment. Through diverse, multimedia content and community building, Brown Girl Magazine empowers and engages those who identify as a part of the South Asian diaspora with a hyphenated identity.

With a passionate team of more than 200 freelancers, BrownGirlMagazine.com continues to serve as an anchor for South Asians over the past decade by remaining steadfast in publishing premium, multimedia content so that it uplifts, creates deeper understanding and connection, and cultivates meaningful dialogue in communities around the globe.

Since 2019, Brown Girl Magazine launched a few new initiatives — an apparel line 'Ladki Power,' a podcast, 'The Chaat Room,' which highlights South Asians in Hollywood, and the first-ever Slashie Summit in New York City, a purpose-driven one-day summit that empowers creators and doers to challenge the stigma behind creative aspirations. The summit has since pivoted to SlashieConnects.co, a subscription-based digital community built by and for Slashies to cultivate and amplify your (side) hustle.
