Herrana Addisu

Herrana Addisu is a Multi-Disciplinary Artist and Social Impact Strategist based in New York.

Her family's journey to the United States and her personal experience growing up in Ethiopia and immigrating to the U.S. have shaped her career in human rights. She works to uplift marginalised communities through advocacy initiatives, research and programming.

She is currently working at the UN supporting the UNGC's Accelerators Programmes to embed SDG-aligned practices deep into business operations and across the value chain to accelerate progress and impact for the 2030 Agenda.

She incorporates her expertise in various human rights issues into her artistry through creative direction and modelling and most recently launched Chucha Studios LLC, a creative production agency that aims to reduce social disparities within marginalised communities by connecting the art of visual storytelling with systemic change.
