Hey, it's Doleepa, and I'm at your service.

Join me as I serve up personal conversations with my sensational guests.

Do a leap interviews, Tim Cook.

Technology doesn't want to be good or bad.

It's in the hands of the creator.

It's not every day that I have the CEO of the world's biggest company in my living room.

If you're looking at your phone more than you're looking in someone's eyes,

Julie, at your service.

Listen to all episodes on BBC sales.

This is the BBC. 30 years ago the first time I came to Washington.

My family and I couldn't eat ice cream and a drugstore here because we were black. The poet Audrey Lord speaking

at the National March for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Washington in 1979. Today some of her best-known lines of poetry still appear as banners at women's

marches across the United States. I am not free while any woman is unfree even if her shackles are very different from my own.

Your silence will not protect you, and I am deliberate and afraid of nothing.

Audrey Lord's life and work are the choice of my guest today, Professor Laura Serrant.

She's Professor of Nursing in the Center for Health and Social Care Research at Sheffield

Hallam University and has been named one of the most inspirational women in health care.

Laura, your choice of Audrey Lord, does she inspire you in her role as a poet or an activist or both?

She inspires me in her role as a black woman poet and in that order.

For me it's both a personal and a professional inspiration in her approach, in the way in which she declares herself not to be afraid,

and the ways in which she encourages us to speak our own stories.
