Have you ever felt that you have faced too much adversity? Here’s a story that will open your mind.

On March 25th 2002, Sana Khurshid was travelling with her sister on a highway in Islamabad, when they suddenly met with a deadly road accident. Her sister died on the spot while Sana's body was 95% paralysed.

In the hospital, Sana was unable to talk or move any of her body parts. Her only way of communication was blinking her eyes. To get the attention of sleeping nurses, she would often bite on her ventilator tube to stop the oxygen supply and set off the alarm. After years of medical treatment, she was able to talk but physically became wheelchairbound for the rest of her life.

The irongirl however, didn't lose heart. Sana went on to complete her studies from London, and successfully completed her LLB and then LLM. She is now a practicing lawyer in Lahore and actively works for the differently abled and is committed to make public places accessible for them everywhere.

. .

I am in awe of Sana and what she has achieved. She has many words of wisdom for you, so please join us in this inspirational conversation:

Sana shares the raw, unfiltered emotions of going through a trauma and what kept her pushing through, day after day.

We talk about the law, and what made her pursue it, and how she managed tasks like homework, being paralysed from the chest down.

We also talk about Inclusion and what it means to be an advocate for the differently abled in Pakistan, both the daily struggles and wins.
