About the Author Najah Shuqair
Twenty years ago, my world changed when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. During that challenging time, I turned to writing as a source of hope and positive thinking. What began as a personal journey evolved into something much greater. In 2008, I proudly published my first book, Enter My Heart: Poems for the Soul, a collection that speaks to the heart and inspires the soul.
Although I’ve been writing since the age of ten, my journey wasn’t always easy. Growing up in Jordan, there was little encouragement for girls to pursue creative passions like writing. Yet, my mother, a gifted storyteller herself, fought for me to stay in school. She planted the seeds of my creativity by sharing her own stories while we prepared meals together. Her influence shaped me into the writer I am today.
When I moved to Canada, I found opportunities to grow as both a writer and a creative artist. I joined a writing club that had been active for over forty years, where I found a supportive community that encouraged me to pursue my dreams. Their belief in me helped me share my work with the world.
In addition to poetry, I’ve channelled my creativity into cooking. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I discovered new ways to prepare traditional Arabic recipes using an Instant Pot pressure cooker. This led to the creation of my cookbook, Quick and Easy Cookbook: A Recipe and a Poem. It combines simple, delicious recipes with heartfelt poetry—a unique pairing that brings flavour and inspiration into the kitchen.
Encouraged by readers who loved the book, I launched a YouTube channel, Najah Shuqair Canadian Kitchen, where I share step-by-step cooking tutorials. I’ve also connected with a wider audience on TikTok, spreading my passion for cooking and poetry to people around the globe.
My writing and cooking are deeply rooted in a desire to inspire and connect with others. I believe in giving back to the community that has supported me, which is why I donate half of the proceeds from my books to local non-profit organizations.
Today, I’m proud to be part of three writing clubs and to have received the Distinguished Toastmasters award in 2023. These achievements are milestones on a journey defined by creativity, resilience, and a commitment to making a difference.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, comfort, or practical guidance, my books offer something special. Enter My Heart provides poetry that uplifts the soul, while Quick and Easy Cookbook simplifies meal preparation and adds a poetic touch to your kitchen. With every purchase, you not only gain something meaningful but also contribute to a greater cause.
Let me invite you into my world—one of stories, recipes, and heartfelt connections. Together, we can celebrate the joy of creativity and the power of giving back.
