How I Became Nadiya Hussain

I was the little curly haired girl who would sit in defiance when all the other kids in class would talk about how to wreak havoc with the supply teacher. I would sit and hide under my curly hair and say ‘no’. Not much has changed since then; I still have a habit of saying no, but mostly to my long suffering dad. But a lot has changed too… I have since had 3 of my own children who, not too dissimilar to my 10 year old self, all know their minds very well. So when I complain to my dad that the kids don’t listen, he looks at me with eyes that read ‘karma my dear’. I was born in Luton in 1984, on Christmas Day. That was my claim to fame when I was younger. My eyes lit up when someone asked ‘when is your birthday?’ the answer at the tip of my tongue. Doesn’t have the same effect anymo...

The Martha Stewart Story: How I Became a Household Name

By Martha Stewart Martha shares how she turned her passion for all aspects of everyday living -- cooking, gardening, entertaining, decorating, collecting, and crafting -- into a thriving business empire that has made her a household name around the world. When I'm asked how and when I knew I would build a very strong and influential brand, I always say that it just “happened.” It happened, but not without years of hard work and dedication, not without constant retooling of my peculiar and intense self-education in all things that pique my curiosity, and not without complete immersion in the idea of home and the vast subject of what I call “living.” Having a formal education was extremely important when I was starting out. Even if one had no specific career path, a colleg...
