My name is Farida Daud, and I am the author of Nuptuals: A True Story of Love and Royalty. Writing this autobiography has been one of the most meaningful journeys of my life. It is a story that intertwines love, heritage, and resilience — a reflection of the values and traditions that shaped me, and a tribute to the power of storytelling to connect people across cultures. I come from a background where stories were not only shared but cherished as a way of preserving identity and passing on wisdom. Through my book, I want to honor that tradition while also inspiring others — especially women and young writers — to embrace their voices and tell their truths. Beyond being an author, I am a passionate traveler, a lifelong learner, and someone who believes deeply in the strength of cultural exchange. This upcoming international book tour is more than a personal milestone; it’s an opportunity to engage with communities across the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, sparking conversations about love, history, and identity that go beyond borders. I hope that through this journey, I can not only share my story but also uplift others to share theirs.
