CRAFTING TIMELESS LEGACIES

Born into a progressive Muslim family, Husna Rahaman's journey has been profoundly influenced by the strong women in her life. She credits her grandmother and mother for instilling values of independence, strength, and creativity. “The influence of the women in my family has shaped me,” Husna shares. “I watched and learned as they lived their lives with emotional and physical autonomy.” Her grandmother, though denied formal education, was a feminist in spirit. Her resilience and artistry in homemaking left a lasting impression. Her mother, a landscape architect and former Miss India, embodied charm and determination. “She has always been the epitome of beauty and charm, with an underlying layer of pure steel,” Husna recalls.
