"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight  that knows neither victory nor defeat." 
Theodore Roosevelt

The above is a favourite quote of Dr. Kizanne James-McCarthy a multi- award winning development professional, Chevening Scholar, reproductive health consultant and physician with a passion for global health. 

Kizanne shares with us the importance of pushing through the many challenges of life without allowing these challenges to make us bitter. Although she has faced both health and financial challenges her understanding of the importance of community and showing compassion and empathy for our fellowman shines through. 

From overcoming her fear of public speaking to now speaking to global audiences and even doing her own Ted Talk her journey inspires us to live life and learn from the lessons it provides through our triumphs and failures!
