Conducted by Agra Aur Hum.

You can see passion in Reema Ahmad’s life in the way she has stepped out of her past and started a new life.

At some point of time there was no purpose in her life, but through hard work and studies, she chose her dreams.

With the help and constant efforts of her good friends and family, Reema ji has reached a stage today where she wanted to always be and she is very happy.

Reema Ahmad is co founder of Candidly, an initiative that talks about gender, sexuality, abuse and how these manifest in culture through media. Candidly is a joint initiative with her long time friend Amita Malhotra who launched India’s first gender neutral clothing line for kids, EqualiTee.

Reema ji came to Agra in 1986 when she was 3 years old and started her early education at St. Patrick's School in Agra.

In her childhood, she understood that girls have to face a lot of problems and their dreams are suppressed and she used to worry a lot about this and thought of doing something in this area as she grew.

When Reema ji got married early, her studies stopped for a few years and her dreams also stalled for some time. She was in turmoil for a long time and she couldn’t see any way out. Due to some reason her marriage broke up and she moved back to her home town. She started her studies again in 2013 and even though it was a challenging time from every aspect, she held on to education.

While she was studying, she joined a course with TARSHI NGO based in Delhi which has been working on sexual health and rights for a long time. She got tremendous support and encouragement from her course and after this, Reema ji never looked back. She kept researching and also created her own workshop modules.

In many schools in Agra, she has taught children a lot about sexual abuse harassment so that the issue is not seen in society in a wrong way and people can move forward from abuse.

Her friend Amita, has also contributed a lot in her life. Her guidance and courage have brought them to this point today.

Her educational background is in literature. She is also a two time TedX Speaker and has been on Josh Talks too. She writes poetry and her first book on discussing taboo topics with children is in the works with Penguin India.

She has now opened her own Counselling Centre in Agra to counsel, coach and train people to deal with various issues.
