It is an honorary title that is given to a woman who has a great influence in the life of others. This title implies strength and an ability to see the best and encourage good choices. In many cultures, including India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, wise, kind and guiding mentors and teachers are called Auntie and Uncle as a sign of respect and affection from our next generation.

The underlying message of an Auntie is love and acceptance. As an Auntie, I am able to share wisdom and insight without the “shoulds and should nots” parents like to enforce. There is no shame, blame and criticism.
Aunties can listen without judgment, share without restrictions and love unconditionally.
