Mojuda

My name is Mojuda Khatun, I am 66 years old and live in Beeston, Leeds. I came to England in 1977 from Bangladesh. I have 8 grown up children and 22 grandkids. I have many health problems including diabetes, arthritis, cholesterol, onset dementia, hearing problems, the list goes on! I take 25 items of medication. What helps me get through the week is looking forward to attending the Kushy Nannas (Happy Grandmas) group. It is the highlight of my week! I cannot exercise with my swollen legs, however seeing the other ladies at the group motivates me to join in the gentle chair based exercise. I love seeing the other ladies in the group; we laugh and talk about our memories of the past and funny stories of the present! We share our health concerns together as most of us have lost our husbands. The group is a lovely space for me to be myself. I feel younger when I come. I walk away feeling that my problems have got lighter because I have talked about them. Kushy Nanas is the only group I attend all week and I absolutely love it. It makes my life so rich!  Kushy Nanas
