"PAIN TO POWER: I CHOSE TO LOVE MYSELF."

BY: MASUDA RAHMATI

Masuda’s story is one of strength and achievement. She was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and faced many obstacles after moving to the U.S. She earned a Sociology degree with a focus on Social Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz. Her life experiences drive her commitment to advocacy, especially in education and empowering women. As President of Change Makers of the World, USA, she has dedicated over 20 years to ensuring that Afghan girls have access to education, even in difficult situations. Her hard work has been recognized by the U.S. Congress for her commitment to building self-confidence, education, and empowerment.

In 2005, Masuda became Mrs. Afghanistan, standing strong against Taliban threats to represent Afghan women globally. Her memoir, Pain to Power: My Journey from Afghanistan to America in Pursuit of Freedom, tells her story of escape, survival, and her ongoing fight for justice and opportunities for others.

"Masuda Rahmati's inspiring journey from a bullied immigrant teenager in America to a fearless advocate for women and girls in Afghanistan is a compelling story of resilience, hope and bravery. This book informs us about the history of Masuda's life in Afghanistan prior to the Russian invasion. She shares her colorful childhood memories living in a peaceful, modern and progressive Afghanistan. As a co-founder of the Change Makers Of The World, she has supported and funded the remote education of girls in Afghanistan. In 2005, she was recognized by the U.S. Congress, as the first Mrs, Afghanistan who risked her life to raise Global awareness for the Rights of women in her country. Her fearless spirit speaks directly to teenage girls, women, immigrants and anyone who has experienced extreme challenges in the face of adversity. I applaud her empathy for Humanity.

Her story would make a powerful Documentary or a Feature Film."
