Transitioning from Point of View

[Smita V]

Dear friends, colleagues, and awesome people,

Hope you're keeping safe and well during these very strange times.

I'm writing this email to share with you that after 5 fantastic years, my time at Point of View has come to a close. As some of you may already know, I've transitioned out of the organisation as Second Lead, Digital Projects. 

I joined POV just after completing my post-graduation, and gosh what a journey it's been! My time at Point of View has given me tremendous opportunities to learn, grow professionally as well as personally, evolve my politics, travel to beautiful places, and most importantly, meet wonderful people like you. For this, I am and will be eternally grateful. Never did I think that I would have colleagues, friends, and comrades in different parts of the country and world, from whom I've learnt not just about the field of work but about what it means to live a life with integrity, true to your politics, a life which may not be easy but one that is built on love, care, friendships, and about relationships that grew via internet cables and pixels. 

Y'all have taught me what it means to be rebels with hope, and we need more like you today than possibly ever before.

And special heartfelt thanks to the awesome team and peeps at Point of View, for giving me the space to be curious with you, learn together, and for just being beautiful people who care so deeply. It's been a gift.

You can write to deba...@pointofview.org or in...@pointofview.org for getting in touch with the team.

I will be continuing to work at the intersection of gender, sexuality, and technology. As of now, I'll be working as a freelance consultant and facilitator, and am taking up short term consultancies and projects. You'll also probably see me in POV spaces in a different iteration and capacity. This will also give me some much needed time and space for myself to rest, play, and figure out future plans.

You can get in touch with me at atimsr...@gmail.com or sv.s...@protonmail.com. Please feel free to get in touch for conversations, collaborations, explorations, or if I can be of any help.

Wishing us all the very best, with much love and big hugs,

smita
