Triumphs of Tenacity by Yusra Mariyam is an uplifting memoir that shares the author's personal stories and experiences as a mature student, encompassing the challenges she faced, the triumphs she achieved, and the wisdom of her father's words that guided her. Yusra went from being a young girl in Bangladesh to a UK graduate, but not without facing educational setbacks, hardship, personal heartbreak, crushed dreams, and unexpected opportunities. In this memoir, Yusra recounts how, at a young age, she and her family relocated to the UK, where she had to adapt to a new culture and language. Growing up, she had big aspirations, but her dreams remained out of reach for a long time. However, after embracing the role of a mother and homemaker, Yusra still hoped to pursue a career. An offer to study international business at Anglia Ruskin University significantly changed her life.

Triumphs of Tenacity by Yusra Mariyam is a powerful memoir that motivates readers to view challenges and failures as stepping stones to growth and success, inspiring them to persist in achieving their goals despite obstacles. A story of courage, perseverance, adaptability, patience, determination, willpower, growth, and the unbreakable human spirit, this memoir is a must-read for anyone who needs a reminder that it's never too late to achieve greatness. More than anything, this book teaches the value of reaching out for help, the transformative power of education, and the importance of patience, self-belief, family support, and our will to evolve as individuals. As a child of immigrants, a mother to six children, a homemaker, a student, a graduate, and a Muslim woman, Yusra Mariyam is a fantastic role model for women everywhere.
