Hot on the heels of our Stars season, stand by for Dear Daughter season 5, starting Friday April 25th.

Namulanta Kombo is collecting letters of advice from around the world to create a handbook to life for her daughter Koko 鈥� and daughters everywhere.

This season Namulanta鈥檚 been speaking to letter-writers all over the world, from India to Colombia to South Africa. We鈥檒l hear from divorce lawyer Vandana Shah how the end of her marriage led her to retrain as a lawyer, and the advice she always gives to new clients. Listener Paola talks about the grief of losing her daughter aged just 17. Rahab writes to her daughter to apologise for missing out on so much of her childhood because she was in prison at the time. And blogger Malaka Grant tells Namulanta about the lesson she learned when her Pop-pop brought out her first erotic novel over Christmas brunch.

Plus we鈥檒l hear letters about some of the big milestones in a daughter鈥檚 life. Shelley in Arkansas reads us the letter she slipped into her daughter鈥檚 suitcase as she was leaving for college. Azola in South Africa talks about the day his friends threw him a 鈥渘appy braai鈥� or dads-only baby shower. And Mahynor in Egypt tells Namulanta about the excitement of buying her daughter her first bra.

More brilliant advice, thoughtful conversations, laughter, wisdom and tears 鈥� join us for the new season of Dear Daughter from Friday April 25th.

And we鈥檇 love to hear from you! We鈥檇 love to hear your letter for your daughter, or a daughter figure in your life, or your younger self. Email us on deardaughter@bbc.co.uk or go to www.bbc.co.uk/deardaughter to find out more.
