Sajia Ebrahimi

Born in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the Soviet invasion, Sajia Ebrahimi spent her formative years surviving war before fleeing as a refugee to Pakistan and India. Her family eventually immigrated to Canada, where she earned two undergraduate degrees while confronting personal struggles of trauma, survival, and identity. Later, residing in the Netherlands, she completed a master's in Language and Literature, honing her voice against erasure. She has taught writing and communication at both secondary and post-secondary levels. Her life and work testify to resistance—against inherited trauma, oppressive systems, and the silencing of marginalized narratives. Through writing, she excavates truth and inherent self-dignity, challenging familial, social, and political programming to reclaim selfhood and community. She currently resides in Canada. https://www.instagram.com/freedomandpen/
