Testimonials
"As an experiential artist and event producer, my latest project had so many moving parts that I was drowning in details. Thankfully, I reached out to Priya with Road Openers for help. Working with Priya is like having a guiding light in the fog of creative chaos. She’s not just a joy; she’s a supportive, insightful powerhouse with a knack for taking big, unwieldy ideas and turning them into something coherent and beautiful. Working with her is organic and enjoyable. She helped me identify and solidify the steps forward, shore up my weak points, and connect me with people who could further inspire and assist. After each session, I felt not just capable but downright energized!"

Sincere thanks for your service and visionary leadership as the inaugural Arts and Culture Officer…Applauding your amazing impact and steady hand over the past few years. Charlotte's arts community was fortunate to have such a dedicated person laying such great foundation during a challenging time.

I first met Priya when she was the arts program director at Knight Foundation and Mosaic America was a fledgling non-profit with a bold vision but limited operating history. I was struck by Priya's genuine interest in our work and her generous investment of time and attention in Mosaic. Well beyond funding us, Priya engaged with us as a thought partner and valued advisor. She has helped us raise our profile nationally by connecting us to thought leaders, changemakers and potential partners. Mosaic has benefited greatly from Priya's vision, and I am delighted that, with Road Openers, she will be able to do this for many others.

Priya is a true connector at heart, driven by a deep passion for witnessing the goals and dreams of others become reality, no matter how audacious. Priya doesn't just open roads. She removes roadblocks to progress, maps out efficient routes to success, and ensures your tank is overflowing with inspiration. Plus, Priya models what it means to have a bold vision and actually pull it off. She's done it time and again with communities around the country, and no doubt Road Openers will do the same.
