Meet Meghana. This high-schooler is the founder of Neurodiversity Horizons, a nonprofit that aims to increase public accommodation for people with disabilities. Neurodiversity Horizons has 22 international chapters (Switzerland, Australia, France, India, UK, South Africa, Canada, and all over the United States). She runs social media campaigns to generate awareness and launched a podcast that has been heard in more than 11 countries. She has spoken about this initiative at the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit to 5,000+ attendees. It’s an honor to celebrate the diversity of the human brain with this Gen-Z founder. We love her moxie and how she’s boldly making the change she wants to see in the world. We’re rooting for you Meghana!
