Ndidi Opara

Ndidi Opara (she/her) is a 3rd-Year student at the College majoring in Public Policy and minoring in Media Arts & Design and Quantitative Social Analysis. Based in the Greater-Seattle Area, Ndidi has worked with communities in the area since 2020. Since then, her work advocating for and organizing with communities has extended to the national level. 

Ndidi's passions include music, art, media, advocacy and understanding where and how they intersect. Her 2020 research BROCKHAMPTON: Social Advocacy and Diversity in Rap Music examines the intersection between Rap music and social advocacy. 

Ndidi's professional interests include work within the public sector, corporate DEI, nonprofit operations, social good communications and policy development. Ndidi hopes to continue to explore these further through her work with CSRPC and at the College.
