Mary Seacole — Jamaican-British Nurse and REAL Mother of War Hospital Sanitation Practices [Adrian Snow]
This week, special guest Adrian Snow brings us Mary Seacole! A Jamaican-British nurse, Mary had mad doctoring and herbalist skills and when the Crimean War broke out she wants to bring her skills to the frontline so she asks fellow Briton and BYSK Florence Nightingale for help, only to get the cold shoulder. What does Mary do next? She figures out how to do it by herself! Listen to her incredible story of resilience, persistence, and brilliant nursing.
