Set sail for an AMAZING true story! Join Ben & Pia as we follow Mary Seacole — a Jamaican healer and businesswoman who crossed oceans to care for soldiers during the Crimean War. Her journey is full of courage, clever remedies, and heartfelt moments that will inspire wonder.
What makes this story special for young listeners: Mary learned healing from her mother, traveled across islands to learn new remedies, ran an inn that became a lifesaving refuge, and brought tea, bandages, and comfort right near the front lines. This tale shows bravery, kindness, and creative problem solving in history.
Historical Fun Fact: Mary Seacole wrote one of the first British memoirs by a Black woman — Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands was published in 1857.
Did you know? Could someone who was turned away from official nursing posts still build a place of care and become known as Mother Seacole?
