Description
Dame Elizabeth Anionwu's memoir is a powerful and moving account of her life, from a sheltered childhood to a life of purpose and activism. Born in 1947, Elizabeth overcomes the challenges of her background to become one of the UK's greatest nurses, and the first ever sickle cell nurse specialist. Her journey is marked by a deep sense of empathy and a determination to make a difference, as she tackles the ethnic health inequalities exposed by sickle cell disease and Covid-19. This is a story about childhood, race, identity, family, friendship, and hope, and about the power of one person to make a lasting impact. Dame Elizabeth's remarkable story is a testament to her strength and resilience, and a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersection of healthcare, social justice, and personal identity.
