Pooja Khanna, 34

Mum to Norah, 3.5 years

With her following of 24.6K, Pooja hopes to celebrate the differences and change the narrative around down syndrome, and build a legacy for her baby girl Norah.

Insta account I love to stalk: The Home Edit

Pre-Norah, my social media had no value! When she was about a year old, I’d started posting about her and down syndrome. It was honestly a cry for help—I hoped if I’d written about it, someone would reach out to me and tell me what to do to take care of her, because I didn’t have anybody relevant that I could reach out to. There is so much stigma around it, even talking about it is like walking on eggshells. I felt like I just needed to put it out there, and that’s how my JOURNEY on the internet began.

I had mums from different parts of the world reach out and share their stories of how they were dealing with it, and reading about their stories helped me a lot too. It made me feel like I wasn't alone and helped me gain a lot of perspective. Either I could be stuck with a sense of helplessness, or I could make most of it and really learn how to enjoy life. After all, there wasn't anything holding me back!
