Now, as the driving force behind TWEM, Thanai is channeling her passion for advocacy into the fight for better education, research, and support for those living with endometriosis. Through creative initiatives—including guided art experiences, a forthcoming coffee table book, and awareness-driven events—she is committed to transforming pain into power.
