Nadiya Hussain: A letter to my teenage daughter

Dear daughter,

As you navigate through your teenage years, I want to share some words of wisdom and advice with you. These are things that I wish I had known when I was your age, things that I have learned through my own experiences and growth.

First and foremost, I want you to know that you are loved unconditionally. No matter what challenges you may face or mistakes you may make, my love for you will never waver. You are a unique and special individual, and you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect.

Remember to always be true to yourself. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind, pursue your passions, and stand up for what you believe in. Your voice matters, and your opinions are valuable.

Be kind to yourself and to others. Life is full of ups and downs, but showing kindness and compassion can make a world of difference. Treat others with empathy and understanding, and never underestimate the power of a simple act of kindness.

Embrace your strengths and weaknesses. Nobody is perfect, and it’s okay to have flaws. Embrace your strengths and use them to your advantage, but also be willing to acknowledge your weaknesses and work on improving them.

And finally, never stop learning and growing. Life is a journey of constant growth and discovery, and it’s important to never stop challenging yourself and expanding your horizons. Stay curious, stay open-minded, and never be afraid to pursue your dreams.

Remember that I am always here for you, no matter what. I believe in you, and I know that you have the strength and resilience to overcome any obstacle that may come your way. I am so proud to be your mother, and I am excited to see the amazing things you will accomplish in the future.

With all my love,

Nadiya Hussain
