An inspirational story for a Monday morning

I hope this link works. If not please have a look at the BBC homepage. There's a piece about Ruqsana Begun. Truly inspirational. She has overcome all manner of obstacles and expectations that she fit into a traditional mold. I can see a Gurinder Chada movie coming up.

Thanks for that - what determination!

I know! Staying true to yourself really does pay off.

Fascinating read - thank you for posting.

What a brilliant article. Incredible how she managed to deal with so many challenges. A real inspiration.

Thanks for the link. Yes she is truly inspirational.

That's a great read. Thanks for sharing. Real grit, determination and commitment. Not to mention bravery. Also so pleased her husband divorced her!

Yes, if ever there was an upside to divorce this is it.

What a glorious story. I agree about the movie. Or maybe a TV drama. I'm watching Our Friends in the North for the first time at the moment and a writer like Peter Flannery maybe.

What a great story, thanks for sharing
