Sheena Kadi, MBA, is a dedicated advocate with over 20 years of experience advancing LGBTQ rights and progressive causes. A queer, Arab millennial, she began her journey by founding PRISM, Ohio’s first LGBTQ student group at a Catholic university, and has since led campaigns to combat discrimination, pass inclusive policies, and build bipartisan coalitions.

As Toledo’s first LGBTQ Liaison, Sheena helped the city earn its first 100% score on the HRC Municipal Equality Index. She contributed to the historic Obergefell v. Hodges case, securing marriage equality nationwide, and played pivotal roles in banning conversion therapy and passing Jude’s Law in Colorado.

Now living and working between Los Angeles and Denver, Sheena continues to champion equity and representation for marginalized communities. With a career spanning grassroots activism and national campaigns—including work for President Obama and Hillary Clinton—she remains committed to driving meaningful change.
