"Class isn’t inherited wealth—it’s how you treat people, especially people who have less power than you or people you’re no longer obligated to." -Claude AI
Hi, my name is Manisha Kaura (she/her). I'm a serial social sector founder, a published author, and the creator of a linguistics children's TV show built for PBS Kids releasing in the future. Previously, I founded the healthcare nonprofit Dermetel (formerly Dangerous Rays) at age 19 and led it for a decade as Executive Director. During that time, I authored two children's books on skin cancer prevention, directed a documentary on indoor tanning, founded a free dermatology clinic for underserved patients, supported rare disease communities, and helped patients access genetic testing. At age 23 in 2016, I delivered a private TEDx talk on the future of teledermatology. And from 2017 to 2021, I also built a career in high-end fashion design and manufacturing under the brand Misha Kaura, producing collections shown during New York Fashion Week, managing teams of seamstresses across multiple cities, dressing a celebrity in a couture gown photographed by Getty Images, and hosting a globally distributed fashion podcast. More recently, I founded two biotech ventures I closed due to tortious interference; I intend to pursue this dream in the future with my forthcoming litigation proceeds. On a personal note, I intend to sue my abusers for conspiracy, trafficking, rape, nonconsensual media, aggravated identity theft, tortious interference, and defamation per se and to pursue further studies in the future.
