Keep making us proud!
Sometimes it’s the small things that matter. A gathering, with children, all equipped to tell a different story, paint their story, in a different way. Sometimes it’s the small things that matter and tonight, everything you all did, alone, on stage, was a divine as you.

Keep the experience we create together with implementation science!
We met one sunny afternoon, to speak of dreaming and reimagining, ways to implement under 3 minutes, with words that first come to mind, in any format, with any tools. Some wrote odes, others wrote haikus, all of us delighted in the process, with words that showed us how to connect, whether feasible or acceptable,…

Keep the depths of love
I would tell a story about you, only a story will do as we pace the sprawling yard. Simple words will do. Your gentle ease, this nightly breeze, the memories we are left with: the day you begin, visions of grace, your first steps, the depths of your embrace, leave us hopeful for another day.…

Keep the genesis of our grants as stories always!
You may lose to their gaslight and lies, lose to their ignorance and power, but what they do and how they lie, the crafty schemes they pull to steal, seize or make away with ideas birth from deep within you are closed to them forever, as are, indeed, the blueprint of stories as grants, our…

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 beginning again!
Where you begin or rise, where you start or initiate again, everything you open up like flowers, falling rain on an awaited storm are for where you close out or phase away, terminate or simply wrap up, even in places where you once marveled as you planted away. All of this help to shape stories…

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 knowing our stories!
Sometimes what is noted, what is already stated is a lie, and the truth, everything you know is unstated and unknown. But what is known, whether truth or lie, is not everything. Another thing, another different thing, is required. So sometimes, what is already known is not simply enough. Grant writer, researcher, global health worker,…

Keep a rainbow fish!
The first time I saw the fish, I did not know it was made of rainbows. There were different colors in the middle. Red, orange, violet, indigo and green and he spoke of if it as if it was him. The first time I watched him described his art, he sounded different, pride, joy, different.…

Keep inviting dreamers!
If you are a dreamer come. If you are a big dreamer, a storyteller, a designer, or a beginner, come. If you are also a star, a warrior, the praying kind, or the restful type, come. If you like to dance, maybe even travel, come, come sit by me near a park named Forest. We…

Keep using me!
The thing I love most are words. I am learning that now. The idea of looking through the day and finding words to keep in a way that lifts my spirits, your own, is a gift. Sometimes these words come to me like a prayer. Strings of words form in my mind and out to…

Keep positions that matter!
Today, I stepped into my essence. God, my Zobam, family and friends were with me. No one told me it would be like this. That I would be in positions that matter. Positions in which I get to decide the nature and quality of other people’s lives. I see the world must be the way…
