My name is Fatima Begum. I’m from Bangladesh but I was born in the United Kingdom.
The most important thing that has happened in my life is getting my own flat. I now have my own space and the independence to do the things that I had been waiting to do for a long time. This has made me who I am today.
My Dad has always supported me to have independence in my life and for that reason I consider him a hero.
In terms of the future, the thing I want to do is let people know how I feel when they upset me without meaning to.
LISTEN: Fatima shares five things that are important to her as an independent woman who lives in her own home.
