The Power of Love - how to connect, draw courage and be insubordinate to injustice

South African Women’s Day marks the anniversary of when 20,000 women marched against the apartheid government’s passbook laws, on 9 August 1956. In the lead-up to Women's Day 2022, I chatted with Greenpeace Storytelling Advisor, Yewande Omotos, where she interviewed me about love, courage, system change and storytelling among other things. You can read the conversation here.

During the interview with fellow author and Greenpeace Storytelling Advisor Yewande Omotoso © Yewande Omotoso
The process of writing my story was a deep internal journey, as well as a journey through words to share the reality that... we are not neatly fragmented. Power Systems work to fragment us. They fragment us as individual beings. And they set up these hierarchies – the hierarchy of the body, mind, heart, spirit; hierarchies of race, colour, and gender, and they set up these divisions within and between us.
And I suppose one of the most powerful things is reclaiming that connection.
Because when we reclaim that connection, we begin to link that to the questions that help us unpack power.

"There’s a whole wealth that exists amongst our ancestors which is out of the dominant story, invisible, not valued."

Reducing Errors Through Clear Communication

Effective writing plays a significant role in reducing errors by facilitating clear communication among healthcare professionals. Written documentation, such as progress notes and care plans, serves as a reliable source of information accessible to all team members. This reduces the risk of miscommunication that can occur during verbal handoffs or informal nursing writing services. For instance, a nurse’s detailed progress notes about a patient’s condition and response to treatment provide other healthcare professionals with necessary information to make informed decisions and adjust care plans as needed. Clear and accurate documentation ensures that all team members are well-informed, reducing the likelihood of mistakes and improving the quality of care.
