Shad Ahmad

Shad Ahmad

Shad came from a very demanding background, with high expectations. He never fit into any groups in school. He tried fitting in with the sweet boys, the road guys, the ballers, the dancers, but never felt like he found his place. In looking to find who he was, to find happiness, Shad ended up making bad decisions, one after the other, which ended up with him wanting to take his own life and making one attempt.

But once Shad opened up to the right support and took in what was being said, his whole world opened up. Shad found happiness, he found himself, and now he is proud of the man he is. Above all, Shad found the power within him. He is no longer changed by the world; he changes the world around him.
