Rev. Al and I are thrilled to introduce Krish Vignarajah, the dynamic President and CEO of Global Refuge.
Krish is a trailblazer whose life and work embody the power of resilience and vision. Born in Sri Lanka and raised in Baltimore, her journey from refugee to global advocate is nothing short of inspiring. At the helm of Global Refuge, Krish leads with a deep commitment to empowering displaced communities worldwide. Her organization works tirelessly to provide resources, advocacy, and sustainable solutions for refugees, ensuring they have the tools to rebuild their lives with dignity.
Before joining Global Refuge, Krish made waves in public service as Policy Director to First Lady Michelle Obama, where she spearheaded initiatives to support education for girls globally. She’s also been a strong voice in policy, law, and philanthropy, constantly finding innovative ways to create positive change.
Rev. Al and I dive into her incredible story—her personal connection to the mission, the challenges and triumphs of leading a global organization, and her vision for the future of refugee support. Krish’s leadership is fueled by a relentless drive to create opportunity and hope for those who need it most.
We’re so grateful to have Krish on "He's Holy, I’m Knott" to share her journey and the remarkable impact of Global Refuge. Thank you, Krish, for your passion, dedication, and for taking the time to join us. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss!
