Anyone listening to this on Radio 4?
What an incredible woman in the face of unimaginable tragedy. Very inspiring…

But yes - hugely inspiring. To know that someone can find it in themselves to go on, even to find humour in things again … It was amazing.

Thanks for that @TheGlamour

I’ve been thinking of Mina all day. I’d encourage anyone to listen to this, even if they’ve never heard of her. She really is an exceptional human being.

Thanks, I didn't know she was doing this and I admire her hugely.

I just started listening. I had no idea she is Biba and Nicole's mum, whose names I do recognise Blush I will have to finished it later. Amazing woman

Yes, I should have mentioned Biba and Nicole’s names! I guess many people won’t know who Mina is.
