Harvard Law School graduate, former Uber employee, and women’s activist, Meena Harris is of Indian heritage and often makes references of it on social media platforms.
On March 29, Meena took to Instagram and Twitter to wish her followers a happy Holi. She shared pictures of her daughters and husband smeared in Holi colors.
Those of you who are not aware, Holi is a Hindu celebration that marks the arrival of spring after a long winter. The festival of colors symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
Meena often gives glimpses of her relationship and family life on Instagram. Let’s take a look at it.
Meena Harris and Her Family
The activist regularly shares pictures of her husband and daughters with her fans. She and her husband, Nikolas Ajagu, have been together for over six years.
The duo first met in 2007 when they were both employees at Facebook. In September 2016, Meena confirmed their engagement on Instagram, but it is still unclear if they have tied the knot yet.
The couple has two daughters, Amara, 4, and Leela, 2.
On January 23, Daily Mail Online reported Ajagu left his job as the Global Head of Partnerships at Facebook to be a full-time father.
However, it is still unclear since Ajagu's LinkedIn page says he still works for the company. Before joining Facebook, he founded a wine company called Barrel & Ink and Code and Canvas, which is a creative coworking space.
"We do not ascribe to the traditional gender role thing in our house," she said.
