We are heartbroken over the loss of Neema Roshania Patel .

Roshania Patel was a founding editor of The Washington Post’s news site for millennial women, The Lily, and most recently an editor with the Next Generation audience development team working to cultivate a younger and more diverse readership. Roshania Patel died Oct. 24, 2022. She was 35.

We are raising money for her son Abhiraj’s education. Neema cared deeply about mentoring others, and we want to pass this gift back to her family.
