The art of living · you rise, truer

Supremacy

Not winning. Arriving. The slow rising into your truer, wiser, more grounded self — the one you were always growing toward, even on the days you couldn’t feel it. And then, gently, the line carries you back toward the next storm. We keep becoming.

  • Keep the art of gathering!

    Keep the art of gathering!

    Grace A million notes of thanks lingered in a room this evening. Pumpkin pies, delightful communion, over chicken and greens. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the gift of gathering, for these moments of pampering, for the chance to remember what it means to connect with each other. They are like the moment when…

  • Keep thick love and the power of your grants!

    Keep thick love and the power of your grants!

    That we have been engaging in a persistent struggle should be widely known. We have been riddled with struggles ever since we decided to mingle in the whispers of academic circles. The whole problem though seemed to be informed by two things. What we want, that is bigger than ourselves and what they want to…

  • Keep being radiant!

    Keep being radiant!

    Some of us hide our voice under fear. In an unknown space where our dreams and our will are at war. We end up being in our own way. Things are not as easy as they seem. So we hide our thoughts under fear. Until we proceed towards ourselves. For who wants a life of…

  • Keep beginning again even with grants!

    Keep beginning again even with grants!

    From now on, the world has you and all theways you begin again, blazing through, your way, for life. The world sees you, as you stand aside, laying your weapon aside. Grants are like poetry to you, and so, as always, begin again. For the world, has only one of you… Earlier today, the words…

  • Keep these songs from our ancestors, we sing!

    Keep these songs from our ancestors, we sing!

    Knowledge is for the ancestors. I am learning that every day as I sink deeply into an anthem of the decades. From the origin of life, to the nature of words and their meanings, they say the secret of ancient wisdom lies in what we name, and the meanings we keep, those new, those forgotten…

  • Keep leaning not on your own!

    Keep leaning not on your own!

    I have seen wide eyes that mirrored my soul. Daring heights with wonder still nestled in my soul. They say hope is a thing you never do alone, even if you die alone. Find it all the way down in yourself, where it can never be judged like children, who tell stories, all on their…

  • Keep surrendering to your dreams!

    Keep surrendering to your dreams!

    I did a thing today. Surrendered my dreams to universe. They say there are two moments that define a person’s life. The day they are born and the day they realize why. I found my why today. Like Kwesi Brew’s poem, I know which road to take….

  • Keep persisting like Dr. Kariko!

    Keep persisting like Dr. Kariko!

    I imagine the roots of life are buried deep. Within women like Dr. Katalin Karikó. I imagine life tried so hard to trash all the ways a womb once thrived for her. I imagine Dr. Katalin Kariko’s life, from the womb till these day, was worth every vocabulary for her struggle. Her early days, full…

  • Keep funding your dreams!

    Keep funding your dreams!

    My destiny is mine. It has always been from the day I was named Isioma. It’s the reason why I resign from places and people who keep me stale. It’s the reason why dreaming is a form of resistance to me. See where you are obsessed with one grant or one class, I’m on to…

  • Keep anything about your day and celebrating our 3rd year keeping something about each day!

    Keep anything about your day and celebrating our 3rd year keeping something about each day!

    About 3 years ago, I embarked on a journey to to loosen up myself as I navigated life as a mother of four children, wife to a frontline health care worker and a global health researcher passionate about how to make evidence based interventions last. I made a commitment to keep something important, something surprising,…

  • Keep what happens when a woman rises…

    Keep what happens when a woman rises…

    Some moments, like air, are for everyone. The rising sun, black birds in flight, buzzing bees, bloom of hibiscus flowers and the rise of a woman who knows her worth. These days, I am living for moments that open up the possibilities hidden with ourselves. Things that make us human too. The other day, my…

  • Keep competent ethical institutions!

    Keep competent ethical institutions!

    Earlier this year I asked for help with a single IRB process. I run a bunch of clinical trials and when we wrote them as grants, we noted they would be a single IRB platform. I wrote to anyone that cared as to why such a process mattered. In the end, I received no help.…
