Meet Shakiira Rahaman

Shakiira Rahaman is an author, entrepreneur, and founder of Kira Cosmetics. Through her writing, she explores resilience, identity, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to rebuild a life after it changes unexpectedly.

After surviving a life-threatening health crisis, months in the hospital, and a journey that challenged nearly every part of who she thought she was, Shakiira discovered that survival is only the beginning. Her work invites readers to embrace who they are becoming—not despite hardship, but through it.

Her debut book, Still Becoming, is a compassionate reflection on navigating chronic illness, grief, self-worth, and hope. Blending personal storytelling with encouragement, she reminds readers that even when life doesn't unfold as planned, there is still beauty, purpose, and possibility waiting to be discovered.

When she's not writing, Shakiira is building her beauty brand, advocating for those living with chronic illness, and creating spaces where women feel seen, empowered, and inspired to keep becoming the fullest version of themselves.
