Reminder that she actually wins that season, so keep your head up.
Reminder that she constantly had trouble believing that she deserved to be there and her first few could best be described as ‘not the worst’.
And she won. She stayed positive, cried when she needed to, and kept going.
Once more:
Stay positive
Cry when you need to
Keep going
Nadiya is a household name in Britain now, is on TV all the time, bakes cakes for the Queen, writes books, everything! You couldn’t have a better role model for Keeping Going.
This was just so bloody profound. This was about so much more than cake. Anyone watching Nadiya last night will be proud to be British. For all the girls watching her, knowing how scared she was and yet how she overcame that fear, using it and channelling it into winning, they can say “If Nadiya can be scared, be just a normal girl like me and still go on to achieve her dreams – then I can too.” She’s an inspiration for all women (I won’t attempt to speak for the Muslim community but I am sure they’re especially proud of her!!) that you don’t need to compromise who you are to become what you want. You can be anything and you can do anything if you just keep trying and don’t give up. She probably doesn’t realise it yet, but she’s an icon. We’re lucky to have her.
