Loving More Board Member
Board Member
Vashti Ma’at
Albany, NY
Board Member at Large. Vashti’s curious nature and innate desire to learn allowed her to traverse many paths that helped her to discover and better understand human relationships. She considers herself a student of humanity; she believes that she will continue to be a lifelong learner and student. Subsequently, this led to an academic focus in Sociocultural Anthropology. This field allows her to learn about different aspects of societies, cultures, philosophies, and religions that are part of the fabric of humanity and their impact on intimate relationship choices. She stated that many of her intimate relationships have been, and continue to be similar to the premise of polyamory and Loving More’s philosophy of relationship lifestyle choices that is based on Honesty and Respect. Vashti is a proponent of polyamory relationships – qualities that dovetail nicely with Loving More’s endeavors of intimate relationship choices.
