My name is Aliza Rajan, 24. I am an event organiser, blogger and model. I also run a shisha lounge. I won the Miss India Kenya title in 2015.

I started developing anorexia in 2010 after my transition to high school. This happened before I competed in the Miss India pageant. I was anorexic for about six months.
