Bush Board of Trustees: Meet 2024-2025 New Trustee, Nyasia Sarfo
This academic year we are highlighting the newest members of the Board of Trustees. We have asked our new Trustees a series of questions to help the community get to know them a bit better. Kicking off 2025 is Nyasia Sarfo.
Name: Nyasia S. Sarfo; Co-Chair, DEI Committee
Occupation: Microsoft, Global Business Programs Lead
My job is to help people become comfortable with being uncomfortable; as it is in those moments where we grow the most…in other words, I lead programs that help build a more inclusive and equitable work environment.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
Why do you serve on The Bush School Board of Trustees?
My commitment to our Board of Trustees stems from a deep desire to cultivate a community where intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and authenticity thrive. I'm driven by the belief that we can inspire and empower each other to create a more meaningful world. Serving as a role model for my daughter, Savannah '33, I hope to instill in her the importance of using her voice to make a positive impact, echoing the words of the late John Lewis: “Never, ever be afraid to make some noise, and get in good trouble..”.
