Multiple Award winning Sandra Brown Lindstedt was born to write. “I know it’s a gift from God and He deserves all the credit,” she says. Raised with five siblings on the oftentimes dangerous south-side of Chicago, she spent her summers with her grandmother in a small town in Texas.
Later in life, she married and moved to Gothenburg Sweden, where she wrote a volume of short stories taken from her well received memoir, “I am Fireflies Ascending”.
She was asked by librarian Fleur Doornberg-Puglisi, of the International School of Gothenburg, to come and share some of her stories with classrooms of elementary and middle school children. The response by the boys and girls was overwhelming. Later, she sold out her entire stock of books at their annual Book fair. This is when she decided her true calling was to write children’s stories.
Together with poems, songs and her short stories, she has created her first children’s book, Life of a Firefly, that won the 2021 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARDS, Children’s Mind/Soul/Body category and Reader Views’ first GRAND PRIZE – OVERALL FICTION – for 2020-2021. She also won GOLD in their Young Readers Category, Teen Category, Regional Award – South Region and the AME Award for Best Debut Fiction.
I wrote a poem in 1970 questioning whether I was a shy person.
I probably saw myself as such, but was not convinced. Perhaps one who will only speak if it will add value to the conversation. Paradoxically, psychometric tests always identify me as an extrovert. I still question the validity of the testsMy voice broke at puberty and I lost my sonorous voice (I sang in a school play, Hobson’s Choice in 1966/67 staged at Government College Ibadan). Hosting a live radio programme on Radio Nigeria as a medical student was with trepidation.
I couldn’t share this with my parents or lecturers. In those days, it would have been considered being unserious as a medical student.
The potential repercussions had they known can only be imagined. However, it no doubt contributed to my belief in the broken voice.I have been a DJ, chauffeur for brides, officiating minister at wedding blessings, chairman at events, master of ceremonies at civic receptions and other social functions. A poet and an author. How did I get into the operating theatre and not on to the theatre stage? Je ne sais pas.I have spoken with school kids, mentees, peers, beauty product ladies among others. I have spoken at international and national scientific conferences.
I have spoken at places that even amaze me, The Nigerian Law School, Nigeria’s highest policy centre, the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru. I have stood in the courts of justice nationally and internationally, helping barristers and judges understand the high reliability nature of hospitals that result in medical errors. Royalty, Presidents, Government Ministers and Parliamentarians have heard the broken voice. I have spoken against man’s inhumanity to man – poverty, wars, racism, injustice, poor governance. During the pandemic,
I spoke at over 50 webinars. I am still working hard at improving the broken voice, hoping its different notes will come together and resonate, adding some value to society.Rotimi Jaiyesimi Speaks offers me a platform to reach out and share my thoughts.

We need people willing to learn, to try new ideas and to help us develop a library service for the future, responsive to community and customer needs and with a vibrant, relevant offer to Kirklees residents.
After a positive response to our previous recruitment campaign we will continue to use a candidate questionnaire in the application, instead of the usual, (and often difficult,) supporting statement in line with the ‘person specification.’ We want to know about candidate’s skills, abilities, and behaviours, not just see a list of qualifications and work experience. We have included clear guidance on how best to answer these questions and there will also be an application checklist to support the process.
If not registered already, potential candidates will need to be registered on the Kirklees Jobs website before they can apply, but this can be done at any time, so best to get organised early!
We are pleased to inform you that The Premiere of our star-studded Black History Month Event will be soon be available on major social media platforms.
This years event has been sponsored by The International Centre for integration and cohesion as well as Faith forum for London
