Lina Karamali grew up in the Bay Area with an awareness of social justice and involvement in activism from a young age. Lina graduated first from Stanford University with a B.A. in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity and a minor in Human Rights and then from Columbia University with a M.A. in Human Rights Studies. She has worked with various human rights and social justice organizations since high school, focusing on community engagement and educational equity in various forms.
