About the event
Join Ola Awonubi the author of bestseller A Nurse’s Tale as she explores the inspiration behind this historical novel based on the extraordinary life of Princess Adenrele Ademola—a Nigerian royal who trained as a nurse in London and served during WWII.
The talk will delve into the moment Ola discovered her story through a forgotten photograph online as well as why her story matters today; how fiction can reclaim voices lost to history; how family, heritage and personal history shape us; the emotional and cultural journey of immigrants in unfamiliar lands; and the courage of women who serve in silence, especially in wartime
