Mary Seacole (1805-1881) was a doctoress from Kingston Jamaica, who understood the genesis and treatment of Cholera. Rejected by Florence Nightingale, she sailed alone to the Crimea, to care for the British troops fighting there.

The amazing #FlorenceNightingale was born

Today is also celebrated as #InternationalNursesDay, fittingly as she & other strong forward thinking women such as #MarySeacole are who we have to thank for modern day nursing and to whom we all owe so much!

Verse of the day:

"Unless I am allowed to tell the story of my life in my own way, I cannot tell it at all.” #MarySeacole

Don't be afraid to tell your story in your own way. I've lost friends and some family by doing so, but for me, it's better that way.

Authenticity=inner peace✌️✌️

They made it three for three. For this story, we travel to Crimea during the early stages of the mid-19th century war, crossing paths with #FlorenceNightingale. No #Sontarans or #MarySeacole this time, however.

Can we make statues of historic British figures with achievements to admire who weren't racist? Examples: #OliveMorris #MarySeacole #JoanArmatrading #DianeAbbott #EvelynDove #DrShirleyThompson #LilianBader #MargaretBusby

Can't we just make statues of historic British figures with achievements to admire who weren't racist? There have to be some, right? #OliveMorris #MarySeacole #JoanArmatrading #DianeAbbott #EvelynDove #DrShirleyThompson #LilianBader #MargaretBusby Oops, all mine are black women.

#MarySeacole, #Jamaican nurse.
Daughter of a #Scottish doctor,
went to Crimea to join Florence Nightingale
Was refused because she was black. Undeterred, she went straight to the battlefield nursed the wounded.
