Sadia Arshad:
Born and raised in Miami, Sadia is a Pakistani Guyanese/West Indian Muslim woman with experience as a peer sex educator and reproductive justice advocate.
She never planned on being either of those things, but growing up, she saw reproductive and sexual health that made me really think about my identity and the ways these topics were silenced and shamed. As she grew older, she saw the silence and shame manifest, and she wanted to change that.
She didn’t really know what to do, so she started reading about sex on my own and what it means to have sex as a Muslim woman, a brown woman, and a brown Muslim woman. This, in turn, led her to work with some cool organizations, like Planned Parenthood, Fenway Health, SaheliBoston (a South Asian interest intimate partner violence organization), Advocates for Youth, the National Minority AIDS Council, HEART Women and Girls, and the Repeal Hyde Art Project. Sadia is currently a nursing student and hopes to work in women’s health when her studies are complete!
