“For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.” ~Audre Lorde

Sanjay Mohanta started running marathons in 2003, 8 monthes after his father died of stomach cancer.  He never ran prior
and continued to run (since no one believed he could do it!) and recently ran 3 marathons in 8 days in Vermont, NY and
New Jersey.  He has run 158 full and ultra marathons.

When he is not working as a consultant for Indigenous Services Canada Sanjay is very active in the community sitting on
the boards of many charities and non for profits and helps co organize events with embassies and High Commissions in
Ottawa.  Sanjay is also active in the Entertainment community having hosted and judged the Miss Canada beauty pageant
and helped with the upcoming horror movie Lianne on Amazon prime coming out in the fall.

When he is not running marathons, working or organizing things Sanjay enjoys going to watch movies and attending comedy
shows.
