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.
