Please introduce yourself in 1 or 2 lines?
My name is Danielle Khan. I’m a 27-year old American originally from Maine but currently based in Washington, D.C. working as Special Assistant to the Dean at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
I’m married to a Kashmiri from IOK and work as a human rights activist for the Kashmiri people, among other global issues.
What do you usually wear in daily life?
I would consider my personal style “chic/whimsical”. However, these days at home I’m wearing a lot of pandemic-inspired athleisure outfits/pajamas!
What is one thing you cannot do without?
My Pomeranian dog, Nahla (and I suppose my husband — sorry, that’s two!)
Your favourite tweeps?
@carin_fisher, @HerNameIs_Bea, @CJWerleman, @StephenKing, @MuftiMenk, @sarahcpr, @lsarsour, @AOC, @SenSanders.
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?
Instagram — I enjoy viewing and capturing moments/places through photography.
What are your healthy habits?
- Going to bed at a reasonable time.
- Sticking to a daily routine.

- Being active (walking, biking, etc.)
- Eating healthy (as much as I can!)
- Being open, honest, and real with myself and others.
Your all time favourite movie?
It’s too difficult to just choose one, so I’d say some of my top favorites are:
- Amélie
- The Lord of the Rings Trilogy

- Scarface
What do you do in your spare time?
When I’m not spending time with my husband and dog, I enjoy reading about murder mysteries/unsolved cases, singing, dancing, and binge watching TV shows.

Anything tropical or on the Mediterranean (Turkey, Indonesia). Although I most prefer destinations off the beaten path.
What’s the last thing you bought?
