  • Harnaam Kaur is a motivational speaker who at a young age was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that causes a hormonal imbalance, leaving her with extra facial hair. Shortly after her GCSEs, after years of torment, she began to let her beard grow. In 2015, she wrote this letter to her younger self.
    At the Letters Live 10th anniversary show at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Harnaam Kaur herself joined us to read this powerful letter.

    And this is why she is the wonderful human she is…she has wisdom, patience, humour and above all understanding how hard life can be for some people….she is an inspiration to people who cannot accept themselves for who they truly are and not what society believes they should be.❤️❤️👏👏

    "....grant me the serenity to accepted the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
    She is the embodiment and empowerment of this.

    This is probably the first time amongst these letters where I found myself laughing and crying during the 5 minutes listening to it. I’ve carried many scars over the last quarter of a century, both physical and emotional, but I’ve also carried a huge amount of love and laughter throughout my life. Hearing this hit deep into my heart and gave me so much to think about. I’m so glad I clicked on this tonight.

    Amazing! I wonder if 10-year-old girls could understand this without the perspective gained by adulthood. I wish all 10-year-old girls could hear this, thank you for sharing with the world!!❤️❤️

    I think this is so brave! It's something that I needed to hear and wish I'd heard it sooner. As a child I always felt I didn't fit in ( and not for the very obvious reason that she has ) . I could have done with seeing this as a teenager and knowing what it was to have confidence in just being me and not caring so much that my interests differed from those around me. That I wasn't "odd" and "antisocial" because I didn't like loud music and large crowds , that having a few really good friends around me was fine and that being popular was not for me if it included going against my nature. Well done , Harnaam!

      ……..what????? I had to click on the video just to match up the “her” in the title with what I was seeing, I’m sorry but to men that is an instant no and you won’t find hardly any that would truly disagree

      Not really. No-one asked what men thought of her or how she looks. She looks the way she wants to look, simple as that. Women don't dress up to attract men, they dress up to look pretty to themselves.

    Firstly, when did this channel start posting people reading their own letters? Or is that only reserved for women with PCOS and a beard, or other extreme anomalies within the human spectrum?
    Secondly, she has said this: "I don't think I believe in gender. I want to know who said a vagina is for a woman and a penis is for a man." Medicine and science says this, Kaur. Stop spreading misinformation.
    Thirdly, it's a beautiful letter. But someone else should have read it, and she should have read someone else's letter.
