About ME

About Me

Tanzila Khan is an entrepreneur, disability rights activist, and travel blogger from Pakistan. Not only does she advocate for disability rights through lobbying, writing, and engaging media, but she is also committed to raising awareness on a broader scale. Moreover, her entrepreneurial ventures include Woopie Town, a board game designed to educate players about disability, and Girlythings.pk, a menstrual healthcare startup in Pakistan. Remarkably, she wrote her first book, A Story of Mexico, at the age of 16. Later on, she published her second book, The Perfect Situation. In addition, she has used the proceeds from her books to fund community projects in the fields of disability, women empowerment, education, and the environment.
