Momina’s Story: Designing Her Future with Her Feet

Before Momina became a graphic designer, she was a little girl in Khewra watching other children enter classrooms that had no place prepared for her. Cerebral palsy had changed the way her body moved, but it had not touched her curiosity, intelligence or desire to learn. When no suitable school welcomed her, her home became her classroom and her family became the bridge between her and the future she deserved. Then, one day, she saw a pen and tried to lift it with her foot. To anyone else, it was an ordinary pen. To Momina, it was the first tool she could use to tell the world, “I am here, and my life has a purpose.” Her father understood what that moment meant. He left behind the family’s established life in Khewra and moved them to Islamabad, carrying with him the belief that his daughter’s future was worth every uncertainty.

Years later, the same feet that reached for that first pen now move confidently across a laptop, turning ideas into colours, images and designs. When Momina is asked how she edits, she smiles and says, “With my feet.” There is no sadness in her answer and no request for sympathy. There is pride, confidence and the quiet strength of someone who fought for every skill the world can now see. At Niaz Support, Momina is not defined by her diagnosis or celebrated merely for trying. She is a professional graphic designer, a respected colleague and a gifted young woman whose creativity has earned its own place. Every design she completes carries a message more powerful than words. A child with a disability can have ambitions. A daughter can become the pride of her family. A person the world once overlooked can create work the world cannot ignore.
