ABOUT ME

Hi! My name is Ritika Asher. I am a first year at Princeton University, majoring in Public and International Affairs. As the daughter of two immigrants from India, I am very passionate about fighting for immigrant rights. I published a book, Detained, which seeks to shed light on the horrific conditions inside immigration detention centers through a series of personal narratives. I am a volunteer for Solidaridad Central Jersey, where I assist asylum seekers in completing their asylum applications, and as I am fluent in french, I am a volunteer ESL tutor for francophone migrants at El Centro NJ.
