Rida is a 20-year-old Muslim girl from India, a developing country with a collectivist mindset. She is from a minority background, which is often discriminated against because of preconceived notions. Growing up, she always wondered why people behave irrationally with her, and that was because she was a young minority girl who used to voice her opinions and encourage individual freedom and support individualism, which in a collectivist society was frowned upon. She joined Students for Liberty at the age of 18 and eventually became the youngest Prometheus Fellow by getting selected as one of the top 50 global leaders in partnership with the Prometheus Foundation. She is also working as the youngest staffer with Liberty International.
