Hi! I’m Sadiya Abid 🤍 I’m currently a student at the University of Southern California majoring in Business Administration with a minor in Gender & Social Justice and I’m on the pre-dental track. I grew up in suburban Kansas (about 30 minutes outside of Kansas City) and always wanted to spend my undergrad in a bigger city, which is how I ended up in sunny Los Angeles! 🌆🌴
While I’ve always loved science and health, I’m equally interested with the humanities—especially learning how history, society, and identity intersect with medicine and care. That curiosity and passion for justice led me to start my nonprofit, Future Is Female (futuresfemale.com), where we educate young girls about the systemic struggles women face and offer tools and resources to help them thrive. When I got to college, I knew I wanted to keep speaking my mind and building community, which is why Her Campus felt like the perfect fit!
In my free time, you can probably find me at the gym, doing ceramics, watching NBA/NFL, or getting matcha! I’m also always listening to music...some of my favs are SZA, Clairo, and Travis Scott, but I’ll listen to almost anything!
