THROWBACK THURSDAY 🌿 
 
A little moment I keep thinking about… 
 
Erin-Ijesha (Olumirin) Waterfalls. 
 
Sometimes you don’t realise how much noise you’re carrying until you step somewhere quiet. 
 
I remember standing there, washing my hands in the water, feeling the spray, listening to the waterfall and just… stopping. 
 
No rushing. 
No notifications. 
No agenda. 
 
Just water, nature and presence. 
 
And honestly, that is wellness too. 
 
We talk so much about what we eat, what we drink, the herbs, natural teas, green smoothies, superfoods and everything we put into our bodies. 
 
But what about what we give our minds? 
 
The places we spend time. 
The people around us. 
The moments when we allow ourselves to breathe. 
 
Sometimes nature really does bring you back to yourself. 🌿 
 
So tell us: 
 
What is your reset? 
 
A walk? Nature? Music? Cooking? A cup of tea? Five minutes of silence? 
 
What brings you back to yourself? 👇🏽 
 
We’d love to hear from you in the comments.

NEW MONTH. NEW SEASON. BACK TO BASICS. 🌿 
 
When we met Barnas Spices in Ilesha, we knew we had to try some of what he was making. 
 
We love discovering people who are doing something good with what is already around them, and Barnas’s herbs, spices and carefully created combinations immediately caught our attention. 
 
We met him at Chief Ajirowa’s residence in Ilesha, and we were genuinely impressed by the range of natural herbs and spices, the local ingredients and the attention to detail in his packaging. 
 
Even Rawlings, the manager of the Ijesa Golden Warriors football team, was interested in the spices for himself and his team. 
 
And then we tried them. 
 
Our favourite? The turmeric. 💛 
 
I use turmeric in so much of my cooking. I have it as a tea first thing in the morning, and I add it to my Egusi stew too. It has become one of those ingredients that just seems to find its way into everything. 😂 
 
And yes… my turmeric sample is nearly finished already. 
 
That probably tells you everything. 
 
For us, this is what Food as Medicine is also about. 
 
Going back to basics. 
 
Knowing what goes into the food we prepare. 
Making use of local produce. 
Valuing traditional knowledge. 
Supporting local enterprise. 
And making more conscious choices about what we put on our plates and into our homes. 
 
As we enter a new month, perhaps it is a good time to ask ourselves a simple question: 
 
What are we actually putting into our food? 
 
Healthy living doesn’t always have to begin with something complicated. 
 
Sometimes, it starts with the basics. 
 
October, we’re going back to basics. 🌿 
 
Thank you, Bolu for the samples. We are definitely enjoying them!

Information can change what people are able to do. 
 
It can help a community make better decisions. 
It can open doors to opportunity. 
It can strengthen participation. 
It can protect knowledge and carry it forward. 
 
Today, on the International Day for Universal Access to Information, we are reminded that access to reliable, relevant information is not simply about having information. 
 
It is about having the knowledge to make informed choices, participate meaningfully and shape the future. 
 
From indigenous knowledge to digital information, access matters. 🌍 
 
Knowledge should create possibility. 💡 
 
 
 
 

24/09/2026

Throwback to Erinjiyan-Ekiti State, Nigeria.🥭😂  
 
Some moments remind you exactly why this work is so fulfilling. 
 
The women. The farms. The mangoes. The singing. The laughter. ❤️ 
 
No big agenda. No formal meeting. Just people being people. 
 
And sometimes, those are the moments you remember most. 🌱 
 
What’s a simple moment with someone that has stayed with you? 👇🏾

Sometimes, you have to go looking for the answer. 🌍 
 
Not in a boardroom. 
Not in a report. 
 
But in the places where people live, create, remember, practise and pass knowledge on. 
 
That’s where this journey has taken us. 
 
Morocco. 🇲🇦 
Mauritania. 🇲🇷 
Senegal. 🇸🇳 
The Gambia. 🇬🇲 
And now, Nigeria. 🇳🇬 
 
We’ve met people. 
Heard stories. 
Asked questions. 
Shared ideas. 
 
And along the way, something kept happening. 
 
A conversation became a connection. 
A connection opened a door. 
One question led to another. 
 
And before we knew it, we were following a journey we never could have mapped out from behind a desk. 
 
For us, it has always come back to people. 
 
Culture. Heritage. Indigenous knowledge. Identity. Wellbeing. 
 
And what happens when they meet? 
 
Today, on the International Day of Peace, that feels especially meaningful. 🕊️ 
 
Because sometimes peace begins simply with listening. 
With understanding. 
With making space for people, cultures and generations to meet. 
 
These are just a few moments. 
 
A much bigger story lies behind them. 
 
And now we’re asking ourselves: 
 
What could happen if all these people, places, ideas and connections came together? 
 
We’re about to find out. 
 
Where do you think this journey is taking us? 👀🌍

Sometimes, you have to go looking for the answer. 
 
Not in a boardroom. 
 
Not in a report. 
 
But in the places where people live, create, remember, practise and pass knowledge on. 
 
That’s where our journey has taken us. 
 
From Morocco 🇲🇦, through Mauritania 🇲🇷, Senegal 🇸🇳 The Gambia 🇬🇲, and beyond… 
 
And now, Nigeria. 🇳🇬 
 
Along the way, we’ve met people, heard stories, shared ideas, asked questions, and discovered connections we never could have found sitting behind a desk. 
 
A conversation became a connection. 
A connection opened a door. 
And one question led to another. 
 
Slowly, the pieces started coming together. 
 
Because sometimes, you don’t know where a journey is taking you until you’re willing to follow it. 
 
For us, it has always come back to people, culture, knowledge, identity and wellbeing, and what happens when they meet. 
 
These are just a few moments. 
 
There’s a much bigger story behind them. 
 
And now we’re asking ourselves: 
 
What could happen if all these people, ideas, places and connections came together? 
 
That’s the part we’re most excited about. 
 
Where do you think this journey is taking us? 👀🌍 
 
What’s your instinct?

Some of the most important work happens long before anyone sees it. 
 
Over the past few months, we have been quietly building behind the scenes. 
 
Not because the work stopped, but because it accelerated. 
 
🌿We have been strengthening the foundations of The H.E.L.P Team (Healing Every Living Person): refining our frameworks, enhancing our systems, developing new partnership pathways, and creating new ways to share our work, connect with communities, and strengthen partnerships across Africa and beyond. 
 
Every conversation. 
Every lesson. 
Every relationship. 
Every step forward. 
 
has been guided by one purpose: 
 
Creating stronger foundations for lasting impact. 🌍 
 
Over the years, we have learned that meaningful change requires more than good intentions. 
 
It requires collaboration, trusted relationships, strong systems, and communities at the heart of every solution. 
 
As we prepare to enter this next chapter, we look forward to sharing more of what has been taking shape, new initiatives, partnerships, field experiences, and a renewed digital platform designed to bring our work closer to communities and partners around the world. 
 
Thank you for continuing to be part of this journey with us. 🙏🏽 
 
This is not simply a return. 
 
It is the beginning of a stronger chapter.

Today is World Book Day. 📚 
 
But to understand books, we must first understand education. 
 
Education is not only the transfer of written knowledge. 
It is the process through which societies preserve, transmit, and evolve understanding. 
 
In many Indigenous African contexts, education existed long before formal schooling systems. 
It lived through storytelling, apprenticeship, observation, practice, and communal dialogue. 
 
A book is a recorded vessel of knowledge,  
a tool that preserves thought, experience, and information beyond time and memory. 
 
Its purpose is preservation and transmission. 
 
But knowledge in many communities was never dependent solely on books. 
It was embedded in lived systems, land, language, ritual, craft, and oral tradition. 
 
Books did not replace Indigenous knowledge systems. 
They expanded how knowledge can be preserved and accessed. 
 
Today, both systems coexist,  
One records knowledge, the other embodies it. 
 
Together, they shape how we learn, understand, and interpret the world. 
 
 
 
 
 
💬 How do you understand education today, as something written, something lived, or both? 
 
Share your thoughts in the comments.

A new month. The same commitment to impact 🌍  
Not just progress, but purpose.  
  
We’ve been quiet… but the work hasn’t stopped.  
  
This past month reminded us:  ✨
 
Real change isn’t always loud.  
It’s the right people coming together and choosing to act.  
  
We’re grateful to be working alongside  
Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC),  
supporting essential medical equipment  
and strengthening frontline healthcare in Nigeria.  
  
Through our Integrated Community Wellness Framework (ICWF).  
This goes beyond infrastructure.  
  
It’s about people 👥  
It’s about access 🏥  
It’s about dignity in care ❤️  
  
Engaging with Professor John Okeniyi and his team  
shows what’s possible when leadership is open  
and committed to real impact.  
  
There’s still more to be done.  
But this is how change begins, quietly, consistently, together.  
  
Every life matters ❤️  
Every community matters 🌍  
  
If this speaks to you, don’t just scroll, reach out, connect, or share.  
Let’s build something that truly makes a difference. 🫱🏽‍🫲🏽
