No one should be shamed. For being different. For the color of their skin. For just being. The feeling and experience of shame can be extremely paralyzing and even lead to depression and anxiety. But facing shame head on is possible, empowering and liberating. And, it starts with your mindset. 

In today's very special episode, in collaboration with Hub Dot, we speak to a truly remarkable woman who has poignantly illustrated how she's overcome feelings of shame since childhood to build courage, strength and confidence. By overcoming shame, she has built an incredible career as a celebrated nurse becoming one of the 70 most influential nurses in the history of NHS in the UK to fighting inequalities in healthcare and becoming an early activist of sickle cell anemia. She later became UK's first sickle cell nurse specialist in the UK and in 2017 was honored with damehood for her extraordinary services in nursing and the Mary Seacole Statue Appeal. 

We speak to Dame Elizabeth Anionwu and how she overcame shame, racism and adversities to achieve remarkable success in her career, inspiring so many others today to never settle for a "no" and how to find opportunities to create your visions into reality.
