Anahita is a purpose-driven model, TEDx speaker, and wellbeing lead working within the mental health sector. Born with a rare eye condition, congenital fibrosis syndrome, she experienced exclusion from an early age and often felt she didn’t belong; a journey that ignited her passion to challenge societal norms around beauty, worth, and representation.

Now working at the intersection of advocacy, wellbeing, and storytelling, Anahita’s journey has come full circle: transforming pain into purpose and lived experience into power. Guided by her favourite quote, “you can’t fit in if you’re born to stand out,” she uses content creation (@anahitakalsy) and her voice to empower women to reconnect with their self-worth and healing, while redefining what authentic representation truly looks like.

Outside of her work, Anahita finds grounding in nature, strength in movement, and inspiration through reading and travelling.
