Tahmena Bokhari was born in Toronto, ON, Canada and spent some of her childhood years in Faisalabad, Pakistan. She won Mrs. Pakistan World 2010 in Toronto, Canada and went down in history to represent married women on an international platform.

Growing up, Tahmena had always been passionate about social causes, volunteering countless hours and raising awareness on important issues facing our communities. She obtained her Master’s in Social Work from the University of Toronto and traveled abroad working with victims of poverty, orphans and natural disaster survivors. Specifically, she has worked extensively in the relief efforts following the October 8th 2005 earthquake in the northern areas of Pakistan. Today Tahmena Bokhari is a consultant, educator, social worker, and global citizen. She has worked with governments, community organizations, and academic institutions and various diverse communities across the Greater Toronto Area. She has been especially passionate about diversity, violence against women, health (particularly cancer) and issues surrounding immigrants and settlement. She states,

"My work so far has been entrenched in 'the local' yet much influenced by 'the global'. It is my belief that individuals do not function in isolation but are reflections of the social structures in which they live. If we create better social structures than we can influence and create better persons."

Tahmena plans to use this platform to raise larger awareness on the issues she has already spent years working on as well as to take on the role of a spokesperson for Pakistani women balancing family, community, career and hobbies. She states, “I hope to inspire men and women to participate in creating positive energy in the home and in the community and to live holistically balanced and happy lives.” As hobbies, Tahmena enjoys modeling, fashion-designing, dancing, writing, and photography.
