Publisher's summary

Funny, heart-wrenching, generous, and true, in Finding My Voice, Nadiya Hussain, shares the unforgettable memories and experiences that have made her the woman she is today.

I am writing this for everyone who was told no. 'No, you are not rich enough. No, that is not credible. No, you can't. No, you won't. No, you are not allowed. No, that is not appropriate.'

I was told, 'No, you do not belong.'

Finally, I am saying, 'Yes, I do.'

From the moment Nadiya Hussain was born, she has been questioning her role in life. But the irony is, she never wanted to be a trailblazer. She just wanted to follow a 'normal' path. But life kept telling her 'you can't'.

And so she found her own way, beyond anything she dared to dream....

In this wise, witty, open-hearted book, Nadiya, lets us into her life and, for the first time, shares the memories and experiences that have shaped her into the woman and role-model that she is today, alongside her personal recipes and the stories they tell.

Critic reviews

"A revelatory honest read.... She writes with clear-eyed insight.... There's no doubt that the book will make an impact and enable young girls to question the boxes society places them in and to dream bigger than the previous generation thought possible." (YOU Magazine)

Nadiya you are amazing

If you ever read this Nadiya (or anyone who knows you personally) please know or pass on how grateful I am that you wrote this book. I am even more grateful that you put it out into the world so I could read it. Thank you for being you and for putting yourself out there. Thank you for writing. Sending you lots of love from me, a fan in the USA. Wishing you lots of travel, family love, and more job/earner adventures.

Enjoyed it thoroughly

I really enjoyed this memoir. It shows us who Nadiya actually is under all the makeup and lights. The chapters are all incredibly engaging and interesting. I loved learning about her family’s dynamic and how the expectations from them and her culture shaped her into who she is today.

I wanted so much more

Nadiyah, loved you reading me your story, your rich deep and beautiful story that depicted a life lived round the corner of so many of us that we were blind to. You are brave, funny, kind and fierce! Your a beautiful Muslim female role model, and I adore your cooking ...... write more! And do it quickly! So haven’t had my fill of your words, stories or humor!
الله يوفقك حبيبتي!!!!
