Ahead of the publication of her first children\u2019s book, writer and The Great British Bake Off<\/em> winner Nadiya Hussain will deliver the opening keynote interview at this year\u2019s Children\u2019s Media Conference (CMC), which takes place July 2 to 4 in Sheffield, U.K.<\/p>\n Hussain\u2019s interview will center around the issues of mental health, intolerance and inequality, as well as her own lifelong struggle with a panic disorder. The interview comes as part of this year\u2019s CMC\u2019s theme of “Limitless,” which seeks to explore what the media can do to encourage kids\u2019 limitless curiosity and imaginations.<\/p>\n Similar themes are explored in Hussain\u2019s first children\u2019s picture book, My Monster and Me<\/em>, which is slated for publication this October.<\/p>\n Now in its 16th year, the event is expected to draw more than 1,200 delegates and kicks off with the CMC International Exchange on Tuesday, July 2. The event will see a wide range of broadcasters, co-producers, funders and investors from across the world meeting and networking with sellers of content and services.<\/p>\n Greg Childs, editorial director of CMC, said: \u201cNadiya is an inspiration and a great example of somebody who is relentlessly positive and follows her creative dreams, while managing a busy family life, her own personal challenges and wider discrimination. All of these pressures also impact children and are issues which resonate widely in the kids\u2019 media industry. Her commitment to opening up discussions around these important topics and breaking down stigma is inspiring, and we look forward to welcoming Nadiya to CMC.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ahead of the publication of her first children\u2019s book, writer and The Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain will deliver the opening keynote interview at this year\u2019s Children\u2019s Media Conference (CMC), which takes place July 2 to 4 in Sheffield, U.K.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1049,"featured_media":16224,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[1163,1625],"class_list":["post-16223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-childrens-media-conference","tag-nadiya-hussain","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
