I cried while making this video. Dr. Daniel Malekebu (played by you) was an extraordinary Yao African physician feared by the occupying British forces...because he was rebuilding a church? Find hidden truths about the tormented David Livingstone, the indomitable Emma Delaney, and other medical professionals who shaped Malawi's future--and learn what Black Malawians know about Lynchburg, VA that most Americans don't. (Hint: Chilembwe) I found newspapers and diaries from the time that BLEW MY MIND--some of this stuff you can't find anywhere else--so while I hope the nature sounds and water chill you out, I REALLY hope the soft-spoken/whispered history gives you brave comfort.
Since I reused a character I had to put in some explanation as to why a Jewish New England flapper would be at a Scottish Christian mission, and while I was diving into that history I found some pretty wild real life people I'm looking forward to introducing you to. So consider the last 30 minutes a little preview and hint at things to come.
As always, real historian/real doctor (sources cited at the end of the video!). Triggers like personal attention, binaural whispering, running water, and fast-talking clicky sounds. Comment the hidden silhouette, if you find it!
I actually did all this work because I would genuinely like to get to know you better and speak into your life. So while you're here, will you spend tea-time with me? There's a bonus video in it for you if you do: landing.mailer... That way we can stay in touch if my RU-vid disappears.
The views in the video aren't necessarily mine; you may have noticed by now I try to capture little-heard perspectives in history, such as the position of mixed race people in Meiji Japan ( • A Realistic MEIJI JAPA... ) or aboard a pirate ship ( • A Realistic 1725 Pirat... ), or the unusual existentialism of Joan of Arc's "voices" ( • ASMR You're Joan of Ar... ). That's what's up.

Jen is not your therapist. If you need your own therapist, please go to your primary care physician and ask them to refer you. Ask for someone skilled in CBT. Alternatively, there are therapists you can talk to online affordably (betterhelp.com/doctorjen) While Jen is a real doctor, she is not YOUR doctor; nothing she says is official medical advice, diagnosis, or disease treatment, because she has not physically examined or spoken with YOU. You have the power to fact-check. Her medical license is publicly searchable under the state of Virginia medical boards at 0101265916.
