This story doesn’t begin in a clinic—it begins in a West African village, where Ama, once deemed infertile, defied silence to raise seven children on her own. One of them was me. From Côte d’Ivoire to the global stage, I built more than a clinic—I built a promise: that no woman would be left behind.

There is a beauty in this world that’s too often overlooked. It’s not found in grand monuments or flawless faces. It’s found in something far more powerful—Our words. I have always believed that the way we speak to one another carries more weight than we realize. A kind word can ease a burden that’s too heavy to carry alone. A gentle sentence can open a door long thought closed. A single sentence, spoken with love and sincerity, can change the direction of a life. This book—Talking Beauty—was born from a simple moment in a busy hospital ward. A day like any other. Monitors beeping.
