| VICE PRESIDENT - Krishnan |
|
| Krishnan has been associated with Khush since 2002. When he first moved to Washington DC, Khush provided him a safe and supportive environment to meet other LGBTQ members in the Washington DC area and confront his sexuality. Today he has many friends through Khush and continues to share a great rapport with other members of KhushDC. Krishnan strongly supports the mission of Khush DC and wants to give back to the organization by serving as a board member, organizing social and other outreach events, and helping foster a positive sexual and cultural identity for LGBTQ south Asians in the Washington DC area.
