How to turn your dissatisfaction into action
DeVry University
ENGL 135



We have all been in situations where we felt deeply dissatisfied
with the way things were. However, despite our critical remarks we
often drop the topic as soon as another issue arises, which further
drives our dissatisfaction. But consider this: would dissatisfaction
motivate you to become a changemaker?

In this Ted Talk, Yvonne Aki-Sawyer explores what compelled
her to act rather than remain a bystander and how dissatisfaction helped
her to lead positive change. According to her, even the worst
circumstances can be changed to lead to better outcomes, all because
our dissatisfaction is at the root.

On May 1, 2018, Order of British Empire (OBE) official Yvonne
Aki- Sawyer became mayor of Freetown, advancing an inclusive vision
for the city's revitalization. Detailed in her "Transform Freetown" 3-year
plan are 19 concrete targets in 11 sectors. These range from addressing
environmental degradation to generating jobs in the tourism sector.

Her passion for her country and the environment led Aki-Sawyer
to fight against blood diamonds during the civil war in Sierra Leone and
co-found SLWT, a charity that has supported disadvantaged children for
two decades. Her work in public service began during the 2014 Ebola
outbreak. She has been a finance professional for over 25 years with
experience in strategic planning and management. For her leadership
efforts following the epidemic, she spearheaded the second phase of the
African Union-led program to energize Sierra Leone's socioeconomic
recovery, and she was awarded a gold medal by the president and an
OBE by the Queen of England.
