Liz Grant is Assistant Principal and Director of the Global Health Academy at the University of Edinburgh, and also a Co-Director of the University’s Global Compassion Initiative. In this episode, Liz discusses growing up in a loving and caring family living in Northern Ireland during “The Troubles”… the influence of her father’s love of learning and the power of ideas, and her mother’s smile… her commitment to global health and planetary health… using our voices to bring peace into conversations and to call out injustices… recognizing the power of compassion… being kind to ourselves and to our past, and forgiving ourselves… encouraging us all to recognize that our voices and stories are powerful, and to believe in ourselves.
