Indira Neufville is a former donor services assistant at Sojourners.
She grew up in High Point, N.C., before moving to Louisville, Ky., where she graduated from the University of Louisville with a B.A. in political science. Indira is excited to experience working with the advancement team and learning more about development in the nonprofit sphere.
As vice president of a student reproductive justice organization at the University of Louisville, Indira worked to champion black maternal health, diversity, and inclusion of all people on campus regardless of race or gender identity. Her passion for social justice and deep-rooted faith in Christianity led her to Sojourners, where she hopes that the intersectionality of the things she values most will foster growth in her life.
Because of Indira’s background in competitive cheerleading, she has grown to be an avid traveler. Her love for trying new restaurants and good food makes her what some would call a “foodie” or “big back.” In her free time, she enjoys listening to a good podcast or taking long walks. She adores most in this world her mixed breed pup Callie Marie, who is two and a half years old.

Building Beloved Community Through the Sojourners Fellowship Program
I first learned about Sojourners because I was looking for post-graduation fellowship opportunities in Washington, D.C.; at the time, I had no idea that a robust faith-based advocacy space like Sojourners existed, a place where people were living out their faith through the call to biblical justice. After I was accepted into the program but before move-in day, I met via Zoom with the five kind and impressive women who would make up the 41st cycle of the Sojourners Fellowship Program. We briefly discussed what our lives would entail throughout the fellowship and learned about the professional and spiritual development that the program would provide; I eagerly looked forward to my move.
Living in an intentional community is a core part of the fellowship experience and so our year in D.C. began with a week of long workshop days. We focused on activities such as learning our Myers-Briggs and Enneagram types, building up our conflict-resolution skills, and training in nonviolent communication to better equip our community full of people from different racial, cultural, and societal backgrounds to navigate any potential conflict we might encounter.
