Zahra Khan was an inspiring figure from Karachi, known for founding No Nonsense Cheesecake, a beloved home-based dessert business, and for her courageous battle with breast cancer.
She was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma, a highly malignant form of breast cancer, in January 2022. Despite enduring six months of grueling chemotherapy, which caused hair loss, loss of taste, fatigue, and lethargy, she continued to work full-time as a Senior Strategist at JWT Grey and grew her cheesecake business significantly from her bed.
Her social media presence also expanded fourfold during this period, showcasing her determination to maintain her professional and entrepreneurial life amidst her deteriorating health.
