“I endured great challenges and disparities when I arrived from Trinidad, my birthplace. I was left stranded at Gatwick International Airport, but I refused to be a victim. I pushed myself to become the best version of myself through hard work, determination, and resilience. I went back to school to learn why the homeless got a job at the hospital as a domestic cleaner and to build myself up to become a nurse at Imperial College NHS Trust Hospitals and an equality and diversity coordinator. Life wasn’t smooth, but I used the lemons in my life and made the sweetest lemonade,” stated Dr. Janelle.
