Amini Khanna

Senior Strategy Manager

DE&I, Target



All of Amini's professional experiences are an achievement to her, particularly as an Asian woman navigating any workplace. However, if Amini had to pinpoint one experience in particular, it would be her shift from working in the public sector in Canada to working for the private sector in the United States. This was a large industry shift that included multiple barriers and steep learning curves. It was not an easy shift to make; doors were not opened. She had to explain her qualifications many times over and seemingly convince many that her background (and particularly her global experience) was valuable outside of one industry.


Amini is proud of pushing through barriers to get here, and she hopes to be part of work going forward so that future generations do not need to spend so much time convincing others that differences in their age, gender, race, ethnicity, personal, or professional background should be celebrated.
