    Biography

       

        

    Nahid Shahalimi lives in Munich, Germany with her two daughters. Forced to leave Afghanistan in 1985, Nahid and her family moved to 

    Canada where she was raised before shifting to Munich where she solidified her career as an author, a social entrepreneur, an international consultant on Gender, a former professional athlete, a filmmaker, and one of the most prolific international artists in the art world today. Nahid’s passion for arts and humanitarianism began in her college & university days when she studied Fine Arts and Politics & South East Asian studies with a specialization in human rights. However, it was witnessing the destruction of her country under the Soviet occupation as a child that ignited within Nahid the passion to devote her life to promoting peace, tolerance, respect, and acceptance. The synergy between her various personal and professional experiences is reflected in all that she does.
