I knew then that I had to do more to help her, now living with Alzheimer's disease, and more for the people I was seeing in my practice, in ways that academic neurology at that stage did not offer…

I was 21 years old evangelising around Umtata. Some of the people we met were hungry and I thought buying bread and milk would have helped them more at the time.

My grandfather owned a trading store in a small village in Newcastle where he sold a variety of products.

I remember the first time I noticed that women get treated a little differently at work. I was six months pregnant and running out of breath to the office. Late, as usual. Visibly pregnant, I asked for a permission slip to park closer to the building. But I was told that I needed a handwritten note from my gynae. Awks, I know. But it was then that …

She was eight years old, the phone rang. The news broke, so did she. Her idol, her everything, her father - just died. She watched her mom collapse from sheer shock. Overwhelmed by emotions far greater and bigger than her, she stepped outside. Not a tear. She didn't know how to feel, how to cope, and how to articulate. She didn't recognise this pai…

I remember my grandmother taking me to town with her. We would have lunch together at a posh restaurant called the Grand Café. We would sit by the booth which had the most sun, so it was always warm. We chatted for long, laughed a lot, and she listened with love and great interest. I felt heard, seen, as well as nourished in that time. I've carried…

When I discovered writing and storytelling for the first time, I was around 10 years old when my mom brought out my gran's big old green typewriter.

That led me to discovering the word 'proce…
