In 2005, she tied her fate to Nurbek Toktaliyev, and together they are raising four sons and three daughters, as well as enjoying one grandson.
Mimoza shared that her name is quite unusual.
“I was born in 1987 in the Kochkor district of the Naryn region. After finishing school, I enrolled in a technical school in Tokmok, where I studied sewing. Soon after, I met my future husband, and in October 2005, we got married. In the early years of our life together, Nurbek sometimes mispronounced my name and started calling me Bakmakan. To this day, some relatives cannot pronounce it correctly. When I meet new people, they often ask what my name is. My close ones have called me Mimo or Miska since childhood. I was the only daughter in the family, and I have three brothers. I was named after the mimosa flower, which grows along the shores of the lake. By nature, I also somewhat resemble this flower: the mimosa opens in the sun and closes in the evening. I can frown, but by nature, I am kind and forgive quickly,” she shared.
Mimoza Medetova, along with her family, is engaged in livestock breeding.
“Perhaps this is related to the fact that there were few children in my family. From a young age, I prayed that however many children God gives me, I will accept them with gratitude. When I came into my husband’s family, my mother-in-law told me that she herself gave birth to 15 children and advised me to have them one after another. As a result, we have three daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom is now three years old. In 2024, I received the title of Heroine Mother. My eldest daughter is already married, and we became grandparents at quite a young age, enjoying our grandchildren. The children have grown up and now help us. For two years now, we have been going up to the jailoo in the summer, where we engage in new activities,” she noted.
This summer, Mimoza and her family brought their livestock back to the pastures of Sary-Jaz and Turuk, where they prepared dairy products and welcomed tourists.
“As the children grow up, it comes time to think about their future — about buying a home and education. Therefore, for the last two years, we have been moving to the jailoo for several months. This year we lived there from May to September. We brought our livestock and also took some from local residents. We spent four months without electricity and the internet, enjoying nature. Every day we milked the cows and took care of the livestock.
From the milk, we produced kurut, suzmo, chöböge, sour cream, and clarified butter. Tourists who come to us happily tried Kyrgyz products. Prices: 1 liter of sour cream — 500 soms, 1 liter of butter — 1000 soms, chöböge — 400 soms, kurut — 600 soms per kilogram. The main thing for us is to live together with the children and the whole family under one roof — isn’t that happiness? I wish today’s youth, above all, to take care of their health, create families, and raise children properly,” she concluded.
