COVER FEATURE__________________________________________________________________ INSPIRING THROUGH WORDS N aadira C hhipa, chats to Covered Magazine on her calling as Author of volume 1 and 2 of Ink of Inspiration, renowned Life Coach, Counsellor and social media influencer who has fast become a household name and positively transformed the lives of many. Naadira : Dressed by Ayesha Simjee –Doha Photography : Aamina Mohamed Styling by : Flawless by Farzana Authoring not one but two books, Naadira did not aspire or dream of being an author, yet felt this desperate need to find her identity again, after embracing motherhood, as well as suffering from post-natal depression. She explains “that is when I begged Allah for a light of hope, comfort and ease, which I found in writing. When we find ourselves in a long dark night of despair that is when Allah sends us blessings, happiness, hope and comfort through his infinite mercy and blessings". Ultimately it was “Motherhood" that inspired the writer within her. Her shared articles on social media, received an over whelming response as more people connected with Naadira, relating to every word and commenting. The request for the compilation of these articles in a book came from her readers, who wanted to gift them to their family and friends and personally reflect, as and when they needed that inspiration. Ink of Inspiration as Naadira explains was therefore "born after much public demand."
