Meet Komal
Born and raised in the vibrant streets of Queens, New York, Komal Kaur’s journey is a testament to resilience, determination, and the transformative power of storytelling. Her parents, immigrants from Punjab, India, fled genocide to seek a better life in the United States. Growing up in a low-income household within a racially diverse neighborhood, Komal faced challenges and had experiences that ignited her passion for advocacy and change.
In 2017, a move to Olathe, Kansas, marked a turning point in Komal’s life. The drastic change fueled her frustration and sadness, but she channeled these emotions into a relentless drive for justice and empowerment. Beginning advocacy at 14 years old, her early start in public service set the stage for her journey in public service.
Now, the visionary founder of Eye of An Immigrant, Komal is dedicated to elevating voices, funding pathways to citizenship, and fostering a welcoming community. Inspired by her parents’ immigration story and her own experiences as a daughter of immigrants, Komal’s mission is deeply personal and profoundly impactful.
Komal is also a college student majoring in political science with a concentration in international relations, and double minors in intelligence and national security studies and data science.
Her advocacy work includes Sikh awareness, championing youth involvement, and amplifying Gen Z’s voice in politics. Her hands-on experience in several political campaigns has honed her skills and insights.
Komal Kaur’s story is one of transformation and empowerment. Through this journey, she aims to inspire and equip the next generation of leaders with the tools they need to create lasting change. Join Komal in her mission to elevate voices and foster a world where every story matters.
