Dr. Elsa T. Khwaja ~WkQ

Welcome to my space! This channel explores self-empowerment, community empowerment, and essentially "changing your stars," by embracing the transformative power of difficult conversations, and curing stigmas.
I am a social scientist, public policy scholar, advocate, writer & artist. 
I have a passion for storytelling, and all things creative and qualitative! I specialize in international development, fragility, social capital, social networks, & qualitative methods. 
I enjoy painting, reading, poetry, blogging, and I am an advocate for social inclusion and Mental Health Awareness. 
This is a space to share stories & discuss challenging topics that connect to social issues, justice, authenticity, and belonging. The WkQ stands for "Warrior KQueen", my long-held mantra for self-empowerment, resilience, and the ongoing mission to build character as a public servant. 
I hope you will join me in the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual journey for the "inward and outward revolution!"
