About Mehfil
Armish Sehar
Founder, Mehfil
At Mehfil, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive community for members of the South Asian diaspora, both in Toronto and beyond. Our aim is to create a safe space where individuals can explore and embrace the duality of their cultural identity in today's world.
Navigating this duality can be challenging, but with a supportive community of like-minded individuals, it becomes a transformative and enriching experience. We believe that embracing your true self unapologetically is the key to unlocking beautiful possibilities in life.
Join us at Mehfil as we celebrate our cultural heritage, share our stories, and build meaningful connections with one another. Together, we can create a vibrant and thriving community that honours our past while embracing the future.
