Tahia Ahmed

I am a passionate advocate for dialogue and building solidarity within and across movements. My cis-gendered, settler, female, Bangladeshi, Muslim identity gives depth to and complicates the narrative of my activism. My passion for storytelling as a tool for resistance and revival has brought me to projects such as EMMA Talks, Critical Muslim Voices, ArtQuake and Letters to Khadijah. In the absence of justice in our communities, I still trust in the words of Arundhati Roy, “another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.”
