Dear Readers,

As we celebrate Women's History Month, it is with great honor and pride that we feature a lineup of remarkable women who have shattered barriers, fought for equality, and inspired change.

From Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand, who led her country through a pandemic with empathy, compassion, and decisive action, to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Prize laureate, who continues to advocate for girls' education around the world, to Serena Williams, the legendary tennis player who has broken countless records and paved the way for future generations of female athletes, we celebrate these trailblazers who have made a significant impact in their respective fields.

We also feature Kelly Markey, our cover girl and a two-time Nobel Prize nominee, who is a global bestselling author, award-winning storyteller, peace advocate, champion against discrimination, and contentment ambassador. Through her work, Kelly has empowered individuals around the world to find inner peace, pursue their dreams, and make a positive difference in their communities.

Kelly Markey's two Nobel Prize nominations are a testament to the significant impact she has made in promoting peace, advocating for human rights, and empowering individuals to create positive change in their communities. Nomination for the Nobel Prize is a rigorous and highly selective process, with nominees being proposed by qualified individuals or organizations.

Kelly Markey's work has focused on promoting peace and understanding through her books, speeches, and advocacy efforts. She has been a vocal advocate for human rights and an ambassador of contentment, inspiring individuals to find inner peace and happiness amidst the chaos of modern life. Being nominated for the Nobel Prize is a great honor, but it is also a call to action. Kelly Markey's nomination is a reminder that we all have the power to make a positive difference in the world, and that every action, no matter how small, can have a profound impact on those around us.

As we honor these remarkable women, we also recognize that there is still much work to be done to achieve gender equality and ensure that every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential. Let us take this moment to reflect on the progress we have made and recommit ourselves to the work that still needs to be done.

We hope this issue inspires you to continue to break barriers, shatter stereotypes, and empower women everywhere. Sincerely,

Empowering Women, Building Peace: THETRAILBLAZINGWORKOFKELLYMARKEY

Interview by Hazel Herrington

HH: What inspired you to become a champion for peace and equality, and how has your life experiences shaped your work in this field?

I was born and raised in South Africa, where apartheid reigned. I relocated to developed countries on the quest for a better life. I got a rude awakening to discover more discrimination and racism in the developed landscape than South Africa. It saddened me to note the plight of Nelson Mandela did not create contrite hearts internationally.

I made the arduous milestone to leave all my family and friends and immigrate only to discover that I had swapped my ton of bricks with a ton of stones It shocked me to live under these tragic circumstances, so I championed peace and equality into the remit.

HH: What do you believe are the biggest challenges facing women today when it comes to promoting peace and equality, and how can we overcome these challenges?

I broke numerous glass ceilings, woefully the greatest challenge is still having to scuffle to obtain a seat at any table. Notably in society both women and men have a path paved when they tick a certain demographic box. Humanity will not overcome these challenges when we offer the platforms by string

HH: What do you think sets your work apart from others in the field, and how do you see your work contributing to the larger conversation about peace and equality?

I have ample life experience, I elaborated with my expressive pen in my book “Don’t Just Fly, SOAR.” The world has soaked up both my experience and journey glean like a perpetual sponge. People from around the world have related, connected and started organic conversations with me. I had the privilege to live

I speak five languages and have a diverse network that resonates with my motto –helping humanity to transcend by improving critical thinking and enhancing changes in attitude. HH: How do you see the role of AI and technology in promoting peace and equality, and what steps do you believe we need to take to ensure that these tools are used for good and not harm?

AI is a step in the correct direction in many faculties.

Any system that is designed should be designed to be fair. Humanity will triumph when we design systems that do not think and act like humans – with prejudice period.

HH: As a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, what message would you like to send to women around the world, and what do you believe is the most important thing that women can do to create a more peaceful and just world? Peace begins in your heart,

Instead of using all your resources to create more, stop and help someone build something that is out of their reach. I know what it feels like to be looked at like I am the only speck of pepper in the salt shaker, are you a woman that made me feel that way, why? Unconditional tolerance and vision are the start. My book “Making Sage Decisions' equips humanity to make strategic decisions while instilling reflective awareness. This is the steroid that the world needs to overdose on.

HH: What inspired you to become a best-selling author?

Many people see my life as a mother of inspiration and motivation and they naturally gravitate to me for help, wisdom, advice and enthusiasm. During the lockdown people from all over the world were reaching out for inspiration and just to have a chat when the pandemic unleashed itself. I wrote my memoir to bring hope to others. My book is entitled: Don’t Just Fly, SOAR.

HH: What inspired you to start it?

I had no desire to write a book, but I felt compelled to write this book to help humanity in a time of despair.

“Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.”

– Francis Chan.

Then the BLM movement unraveled and yet again I felt compelled to share my story about being born in a country where apartheid reigned, moving overseas and what that looked like.

HH: Why THIS style?

It’s raw – full of first-hand experience and it speaks straight to the heart It hooks people into reading. Most of my readers are reading my book for the second and third time as it is packed with so many tools and pearls of wisdom to help in every facet of life.

HH: Biggest regret of your writing career if any?

Trusting people, you know to help you champion your cause. Not everyone will turn every stone to help Accept that this is your goal and mission to accomplish. Any additional help is just a bonus.

HH: What were your biggest mistakes getting to where you are?

Expecting people to be open and even minded. People are biased and not everyone can deal with having a mirror held up to them. Talking about racism, discrimination and apartheid are complex matters I don’t regret addressing these subjects. However, I am saddened that people live in a bubble and say to me that this is not an issue in Australia

HH: What was the hardest part about writing your latest book? What is the biggest challenge in writing?

Launching a book in the peak of a global pandemic – wow, I am still recovering from that, but taking every setback in my stride and using every challenge for a comeback.

I did not have to invite the think tank into the flow.

I sent a copy of my manuscript to an author inducted in the hall of fame to write me a book acclaim before I printed He responded very negatively, and I felt derailed.

What would you never do if you could go back?

Trust editors, some are so underwhelming with skills, need to find one that can match my writing skills, tone and humour.

HH: Was there a time you wanted to quit? And how did you deal with that situation or overcome it?

Yes, I wrote my manuscript in a sheer 10 days. Its inspiration lived out loud

Kelly Markey's book that is nominated for two Nobel prize will be launched later 2023 "Making Sage Decisions"

I felt derailed and questioned if I should even publish this book! It did not last long though. The very same day I received an email from a magazine editor, confirming that she read my manuscript. She could not stop reading the page turner.

She was honored to write the foreword for my book. She also asked me to be the brand ambassador for her magazine and write monthly articles. I also had a request to be a resident blogger for a Jay Shetty certified coach.

ANDKELLYMARKEYJOINFORCESTOPROMOTE MENTALHEALTHANDEMOTIONALWELLNESS AWARENESS

Campaign Hashtag:

#wecare4me Description and features of the campaign The concept is born from the need to promote and support awareness on Mental health and Emotional wellness.

The concept #wecare4me hashtag seeks to normalise ASKING FOR HELP, while attempting to reduce the negative impact and connotation attached to mental health and emotional wellbeing.

In an attempt to describe emotional wellness in an easy and understandable term – a short and simple way will be that it is an individual’s ability to handle their feelings of /in their dayto-day life activities in an acceptable, sufficient, tolerable, decent manner and approach. They may also be able to respond to change in an acceptable manner, subsequently allowing them to improve and cope better in life.

At LifeLine Zululand, we believe emotionally fit and stable individuals may cope better with ‘stress’ or activities that may require more than an average level of emotional commitment or vocabulary. They may handle dealing with every challenges and activities in a more meaningful manner. In addition, individuals tend to feel good about themselves, although they may have had an off day at times, as they are fully aware of their strengths in coping with off days. Emotionally well individuals find it easier to talk to someone when they are faced with a difficult challenge, they are not afraid to ask for help or say NO either, the strength is in knowing that asking for helps is normal and acceptable.

The COVID19 pandemic experienced over the past few years has pushed everyone to their limits and some to the very edge of breakdown. Emotional, mental, physical and financial burdens have led to many individuals feeling helpless and hopeless at the same time – these are common feelings during the time of a pandemic that has affected the whole world.

At LifeLine Zululand we want to change the negative narrative around Mental Health and promote the mission of asking for help and normalise this in society. We all know the saying, a problem shared is a problem halved – it is true as we sail through this tough and challenging times none the wiser than before, yet we hold the key and the answers,

it’s just the matter of honing in on tools we learn to help us along to becoming sustainable in our efforts to increasing our own emotional wellness and mental health.

LifeLine Zululand explored an innovative and creative way to ‘normalize’ how we approach our advance on our journey to developing emotional fitness and vocabulary to promote positive mental health. Hence the new hashtag #wecare4me was created. The new hashtag concept #wecare4me is helpful, unique, portable, easy enough to share at on platforms anywhere and anytime.

CONCEPT DETAILS

UNPACKED

W - WHAT can I do to help myself – how to help myself to increase my mental health and emotional wellbeing?

The direct definition of Ubuntu from the online Oxford Dictionary “Noun SOUTH AFRICAN - a quality that includes the essential human virtues; compassion and humanity. "there is a need for understanding not vengeance, ubuntu not victimization"

This explores the options, honing in on seeking help, support, guidance, using self-help tools, coaching, LineLine personal development course, motivations books and other mechanisms and tools that promote person development and ultimately increases one’s emotional intelligence.

This level of comfort and closeness allows them to be true to themselves and to support and encourage each other in all aspects of their lives. Spending time together strengthens the bonds between partners. The foundation of any relationship is friendship As friends, loving partners can navigate life’s challenges together and grow.

Another important habit of couples that lasts is that they are attentive and selfless. Attentiveness means listening to each other and making the effort to understand each other’s feelings, needs and expectations. They are always there for each other, lending a listening ear, providing a comforting hug, or offering a helping hand when needed.

Attentive couples are committed to “talking things out” no matter how small or big the issue. Hearing each other through open and honest communications, they find solutions that work for both partners

Selfless couples put each other’s needs ahead of their own and make sacrifices to ensure their partner’s happiness and well-being.

When a couple is attentive and selfless, they build a deeper level of trust, respect, and love, and they are more likely to work together through challenges.

In addition to being attentive and selfless, couples that last are affectionate, loving and devoted to each other.

E - Express your feelings (write it down & read it out aloud, record a voice note and listen to it). The process of writing things down has research attached to it, and supports the process of personal growth, builds selfesteem, reduces stress and anxiety, increases communication skills finding one’s own strength, and so much more

It is in the asking that one is eliminated of becoming a slave to things that weigh you down or circumstances.

Asking for help is normal and part of everyday life. We don’t have all the answers to everyday life Asking for help allows one to be authentic and takes you back the Eexpress, C – check, then leads you to ASK, ask without embarrassment, shame or guilt.

C - Check - Am I OKAY?

This allows one to do introspection, and if you are not doing it then it is something you will need to get used to. Checking in on yourself makes provision for you to observe yourself from the past, present and future.

A - ASK for Help – YES you CAN. Asking for help is not taboo.

R - Restore yourself, restore your hope and restore your meaning. Add some positive routines like regular task or activities you once did which you found to be valuable.

You may not be able to restore and revive yourself to the former you, however, the version you are restoring may have meaning and value to you now, as you have new insights, introspection and perspectives on your emotional and mental health.

E- Engage with yourself and /or others in a meaningful way. Allow yourself to engage with people, places and situations that could contribute to your purpose and has meaning and value to you. Your conversations should not restrict you to conform to anyone’s standard, your engagement should allow you to be free and yourself.

4 – 4 people, make a list of 4 people (incl. institutions) you know that may be willing to support you emotionally

Why 4 – to ensure you have an even basket of contacts, making provisions for work, home, school or other (institution) support contacts. Speak to them about your emotional needs and get their permission to lean on them when you feel overwhelmed. Remind yourself that they too are human beings and while they are on your list –you cannot weigh them down, so respecting Boundaries are an essential key to your 4- people with key individuals / institutions that form part of the support structure. It is entirely up to you to have more on your list. Essentially there should be a list – your safety net list.

M - Make a call & Make a change. Make a call to someone, to check how they are doing – it doesn’t mean they wear a smile they are fine. Adjust how you do things ‘make a change’ for yourself – put yourself on the right track build, maintain or strengthen relationships (4people) that are in line with your values.

In addition consider relaxation, spiritual enlightenment, exercise, counselling, support groups as part of your initiative to make a change – all in baby steps set small milestones and achievable targets e.g. walking 1 x per week to start for the first month is much more achievable than telling yourself you going to work out every day and fail to comply with your own self –don’t self- sabotage yourself!

E - Evaluate - what you are doing as often as you can. Engage with yourself - what have you achieved and accomplished thus far. Has it been working?

YES / NO, if not then start the process again until you find an even balance of where you need to focus more time and energy. It’s a case of like to do vs need to do, need to do vs want to do, want to do vs I have to do, ultimately you have to do something – let it be the decision that serves you best and aligns to your values.

Before you find yourself in an emotional rollercoaster - It is also better practice to jot down (record a voice note) your feelings or emotions instead of acting them out –often we tend to hurt ourselves and those we love when in the ‘heat of the moment’ we say hurtful things to each other. This is also a way of evaluating your process

Writing / recording your message allows you the opportunity to hear yourself unfiltered and then make the necessary adjustments and informed decisions.

When one is faced with a stressful situation - Deep relaxing breaths may help to reduce level of stress, allowing you to focus more clearly. And you go back to #WECARE4ME, checking yourself along the process If you need to make that call, then make that call to someone on your list.

Conclusion

If you find yourself overwhelmed by the experiences, complications and ‘burdens’ brought on by your current situation – the oldest cliché – breathe is absolutely valid.

As emotional beings we are not perfect – because there is no perfect! Searching for perfect in a world of different perceptions will cause undue stress and anxiety. Be yourself and start now to take charge of your mental health and emotional wellbeing – an investment #WECARE4ME to last a lifetime.

This campaign if promoted with gusto and driven with passion for the great good, is monitored efficiently it could possibly indicate an outcome, i.e. the reduced number of lives lost thats linked to mental health illness even if it’s by a fraction of a hair of under 1%, its worth the effort.

It is the hope for us to help our communities and society heal, the journey begins with us as individuals wanting to make a difference - as we strive to be better versions of ourselves.

Let us change the narrative on asking for help when it comes to emotional wellbeing and mental health

Celebrating Women's History Month: Rosalind Franklin's Crucial Contribution to the Discovery of DNA

Rosalind Franklin was a British scientist whose pioneering work in X-ray crystallography was crucial to the discovery of the structure of DNA.

But in recent years, Franklins role in the discovery has been increasingly acknowledged, and she is now recognized as a key figure in the history of science.

In the early 1950s, Franklin and her colleagues used Xray diffraction to obtain images of DNA molecules, which provided the critical evidence needed to confirm the double helix structure proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick.

Franklin's legacy serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of recognizing and valuing the contributions of all individuals, regardless of their gender, race, or background.

Unfortunately, Franklin's contributions were not fully recognized during her lifetime, as Watson and Crick went on to receive the Nobel Prize for their work on DNA.

Her work has helped to shape our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of life, and her legacy continues to inspire and inform scientific research today.

AI & the Art of Writing: ANEWERAINLITERATURE

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been making waves in various industries, and the world of literature is no exception. With the rise of AI-powered writing tools, the way stories are created and shared is undergoing a profound transformation. Women authors, in particular, stand to benefit from these advances, as they offer new avenues for creative expression and help to level the playing field in a traditionally male-dominated industry.

In the past, writing a novel or short story was a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, requiring countless hours of research, drafting, and revisions. But with AI-powered writing tools, the process has become much more streamlined and efficient These tools use algorithms and machine learning to generate text based on the input of the user, saving time and effort and allowing writers to focus on the creative aspects of the writing process.

One such tool is the AI writing assistant, which offers suggestions for word choice, sentence structure, and pacing, helping writers to improve their writing and bring their stories to life. These tools also help to reduce writer's block, making it easier for women authors to overcome creative obstacles and bring their ideas to fruition.

By using AI to analyze reader data, women authors can gain a better understanding of what readers want and adjust their writing accordingly, improving their chances of success.

In addition to these practical benefits, AI-powered writing tools also offer new avenues for creative expression.

Despite these advantages, there are also some concerns about the impact of AI on the world of literature. Some worry that AI-generated writing will lack the emotional depth and human touch that are hallmarks of great literature. Others worry that the use of AI will lead to a homogenization of writing, making it harder for women authors to stand out and get their work noticed.

Another benefit of AI in literature is its ability to analyze large amounts of data and provide insights into reader preferences. This can be especially useful for women authors, who often face challenges in getting their work recognized and published in a maledominated industry.

For example, some tools use AI to generate new story ideas, allowing women authors to explore new themes and genres that they might not have considered otherwise. Other tools use AI to create unique and unpredictable plot twists, keeping readers engaged and entertained.

Despite these concerns, the reality is that AI is here to stay, and its impact on the world of literature is only going to grow. By embracing these new tools, women authors can reap the benefits and remain competitive in a rapidly changing industry. Whether they're using AI to improve their writing, gain insights into reader preferences, or explore new avenues of creative expression, women authors have the potential to shape the future of literature in exciting and innovative ways.

In conclusion, AI is poised to revolutionize the world of literature, and women authors have a unique opportunity to lead the way. By embracing these new tools and exploring their full potential, women authors can overcome the challenges of a male-dominated industry, bring their stories to life, and create a new era of literature that is more diverse, innovative, and accessible than ever before.

Breaking Barriers with Anh-Thu Nguyen: ASIANWOMENSOARINGINAEROSPACE

Interview by Hazel Herrington

HH: Who is Anh-Thu Nguyen?

Anh-Thu Nguyên is the Vietnamese-American aviator to become the 9th women to fly solo to world in a single engine piston airplane to empower Asian women.

HH: What is your favourite quote?

Hansen powerfully said “It takes nothing to stand with the crowd but everything to stand alone.”

HH: What does the term "I AM Woman" mean to you?

I Am Woman is a celebration of the power and influence of all women around the world!

HH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I see myself as a living role model for young girls determined to chart their territory and to find happiness and success regardless of impossible obstacles.

HH: What are your thoughts on discrimination in terms of racism and sexism for Asian American women?

Asian women have historically been portrayed and objectified as mostly something less than our true selves. To overcome racism and sexism, Asian women need to be visible, powerful, and influential.

HH: If you were the President of Vietnam, what would you change to help women become economically independent and wholly sufficient.

If I were the President of any country, I would ensure that every child is empowered through a nationally required educational program. Education translates to economic independence and freedom.

HH: What advice would you give to the next generation of female leaders?

Keep pushing for women to be equally represented in every industry and organization.

HH: Do you experience resistance in your job?

I’ve repeatedly experienced resistance in my career. Even having over 4000 hours in flight time and over 200 hours in the plane I am about to fly solo around the world, men in the aviation community are still questioning my ability. Fortunately, I am not a good follower to resistance.

HH: How do you balance work and life responsibilities?

I am an advocate for mental health and physical fitness. With a good diet and exercise, I prioritize.
