Priti Nemani

Policy Analyst

Priti (pronounced “Pree-thee”) Nemani (she/her) is a Policy Analyst with Building Movement Project, offering assistance with research, writing, and support of solidarity cohorts. Prior to joining BMP, Priti spent a decade as a private community lawyer serving families and small businesses in the areas of real estate, business law, and trust law, with a particular focus on providing affordable and accessible representation and supporting new businesses founded by entrepreneurs of color through pro bono offerings. Priti holds a Bachelor's in Comparative Literature (Spanish/English) from the University of Michigan, a J.D. from Northern Illinois University College of Law, and a Master of Laws in Taxation from Washington University in St. Louis. 

 

Outside of work, Priti often informally organizes and fundraises for causes that matter to her, including dismantling anti-Blackness within communities of color, abolition, amplifying suicide awareness and prevention efforts uplifting minority-owned businesses, and supporting public educators in need of classroom resources. Priti is interested in understanding how structural racism operates within communities of color through policy and law and how transformative solidarity can help us repurpose and reimagine existing systems, such as real estate ownership. She is an active mentor and sponsor for law students and lawyers of color and loves working to empower emerging professionals to honor their personal identities in the workplace.
