People Promise Theme – Voice that Counts

Have you ever felt a passion and drive to make a change, but not known how? Perhaps you’ve waited for someone else to start the ball rolling? Have you ever wished that you had more control and influence to improve a situation or overcome a challenge within your service?

Would you like to use your voice to empower yourself, patients, or colleagues?

As a mother, Mo felt that maternity services didn’t support her needs. Keen to use her lived experience, her values, and her own personal perspective she became a Service User Representative. She now plays a big part in National Maternity Voices and continues to use her story to positively bring about change. Mo takes storytelling to a new level. She applies a “Public Narrative” approach, that connects individuals with each other to bring about collective change. She explores the WHAT IF (the self), SO WHAT (the “us” narrative) and WHAT NOW (the collective action can we carry out together).

Mo brings and urgency and challenge, making us consider “what is important?” and brings an urgency to make a change “right now”.

Using narrative and memory strings, she enables change to resonate and stand the test of time.
