Ni’Asia Ali is a scholar with the Sachs Foundation. After graduating as salutatorian from Sierra High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, she obtained a scholarship with support from her mentor at the Our Elevated College Preparatory Program. In addition to being actively involved in activities such as filmmaking, cheerleading, volleyball and participating in clubs like the Black Student Union and National Honor Society, Ali produced a documentary titled “Behind The Masc,” which explores toxic masculinity in Black communities, landing her on the Sachs Foundations’ radar.
Toxic masculinity was a topic of interest for Ali because she recognized its presence and impact within various communities, including Black communities. She believes toxic masculinity is “a significant issue that needs to be addressed and brought into the spotlight, seeing how it not only affects men but also has negative consequences for women.”
