Having had the privilege of meeting Priya Nair in person at several LGBTQ+ events in recent years, it’s always an honor to name a Dazzler of the Day when it’s someone I actually know. Priya first entered my social spheres when they were appointed as the Inaugural Edie Windsor, Marsha P. Johnson, and Sylvia Rivera New York State LGBTQ Fellow. Today Priya serves as the Deputy Chief Diversity Officer in the New York State Executive Chamber under Governor Kathy Hochul. With a degree from Vassar College, Priya was also named on City & State’s “Pride Power 100” list in 2019 and 2020, and there is certainly more dazzle to come.
