Nahid Karimi
My name is Nahid Karimi, and I鈥檓 originally from Kabul, Afghanistan. I am currently a rising junior at Solebury School in the United States, where I study on a full scholarship after living as a refugee in Pakistan. Throughout my life, I have worked to represent the voices of Afghan youth鈥攚hether through music as a member of the SA singing group, through athletics as part of the Afghan National Gymnastics Team, or through writings that I publish.
Since arriving in the U.S., I鈥檝e co-founded and founded Educational Support for Afghans (ESA) to continue advocating for Afghan girls and students whose opportunities have been cut short. Right now, my focus is on helping amplify the voices of Afghan women. I will do whatever is in my power to support them, no matter how small or large the action may be.
