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 being open!
To see the door, at least once. Amidst fears of what could be. To see the door and debate whether to open or leave it close. Before the rustling winds that blow. Before trees fighting to be still. See those holding on to dreams. Choose to open the door. With the courage of a day…

Keep soaring!
When the world is music and love and people, your ears would be open to people, their love and their music. I’m in a space where only listening to music will do. Only listening to those that birds play, and children sing, and heaven knows my soul needs to restore. We are also slowly setting…

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…

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.

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 but God!
To be a woman, a vast continent within, like anthills of a savannah. Owner of the drink of life. Mountains at your footstool. Breath as sweet as the earth. Voice as deep as thunder. To be a woman, full of silence and survival, unafraid to walk to the unknown, past landscape spells of bitter sun…

Keep knowing they will never take your power!
How do you find voice in a space that would rather stifle it? How to you even confront the fear of expression knowing that what you say or do can be used against you? They say often that there is a bad side to life in academia. I saw it with my two eyes this…

Keep REST!
Here is how we restore rest. We sit on balconies over looking oceans the colors of the sky. We dance to the glorious rhythms they play with palm trees that rustle in the air. We choose the serenity and grace from moments when skies turn gray. Remembering there is always chaos to conquer. Noise too…

Keep Light Festival 2
We spoke to our inner selves today. In the middle of a festival for the public’s health by the public. There were stories of bravery, stories of change, stories of ovaries, stories of light. I left the day full. I imagine there will be moments like this in public health, moments where the source of…

Keep being stars!
Tell them we stood like stars and dazzled and dazzled like stars within. But we never forget, and we keep the memories of a time something tried to dim our light. Yet still like stars, we dazzled. Right at the beginning of setting up one of my most significant research programs, an individual I entrusted…
