Orphaned by the age of eight, Hanan Merabi learned early on what it meant to mother herself. Today, she’s a nurse leader, author, and founder of Earth’s Angels—and she’s on a mission to help others build the kind of self-belief that carried her through every hardship.
In this powerful conversation, Hanan shares how she turned pain into purpose and why self-belief became the most essential tool in her personal “toolbox.”
We talk about what it really looks like to believe in yourself when no one else does, how to re-parent yourself in adulthood, and the small practices that help you build self-trust and confidence from the inside out.
Hanan is a mother, nurse leader, certified nurse case manager, author, and founder of Earth's Angels non profit organization. Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, and orphaned at a very young age, Hanan always knew that she wanted to help others that were in such desperate need in Ghana. At age 15, she moved to the Unites States and became a U.S citizen, still knowing that she would somehow go back to Ghana and give back to those who need it most. In 2012, she founded Earth's Angels with the dream that she could make a difference in the lives of mothers and babies all over the world. Hanan is called on to share her story around the country, as an inspirational speaker. She has been asked to speak at nursing events, including nursing school presentations, charitable functions, and many other speaking engagements.People face conflicts, obstacles, and misfortunes everyday and this slowly erodes the belief they have in themselves over time. I was orphaned young in Ghana, West Africa, due to the lack of basic healthcare, and have mothered myself most of my life. After 30 years of practicing the art of self belief, i discovered that belief in oneself is the most crucial tool we hold. Making sure that each lesson you learn becomes a learning opportunity to add each one of this lessons to your toolbox, thereby strengthening the belief you have in yourself.
My story is a relatable one and is a true narrative of grit and fortitude. Sharing how I overcame all of the odds against me, motivates and catapults the audience to feel they too are in charge of their own destiny and can accomplish all of their dreams, if they too self believe.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
