    Abstract
    Dr. Selina Ahmed was born in Bangladesh on December 4th, 1945.

Three years later, Dr. Ahmed left Denton, Texas and moved to Houston in order to be with her husband. After working briefly at Methodist Hospital, Dr. Ahmed began her time at Texas Southern University, where she has been a professor in the department of Human Services and Consumer Sciences for nearly forty years. She currently lives in Houston, Texas with her husband, and is a proud mother of three children.
