Video Description
For decades, Mother Teresa has been celebrated worldwide as a symbol of compassion and sacrifice. But history is rarely one-sided. Behind the glowing image, there are stories that were rarely told, stories that force us to ask: was the world given the full truth? From her celebrated work in Calcutta to the questions raised by doctors, journalists, and even those who stayed in her homes, this episode explores the good you know vs the truth you don’t. We look at her humanitarian legacy, the praise she received from world leaders, and the criticism that emerged around how she ran her missions, how suffering was perceived, and the influence of the Catholic Church during her time. And just like with Africa’s own history, we see a familiar pattern: powerful institutions and colonial narratives often shaped how the world remembers certain figures. Heroes were simplified into saints, and uncomfortable truths were buried. By re-examining Mother Teresa through this lens, we are not trying to destroy her image or deny the good she did ,but to give a complete picture that history books and institutions often avoid. Because only when we see both sides, the good and the truth that was hidden can we begin to understand the real story of Mother Teresa. #MotherTeresa #HiddenTruth #GoodVsUgly #HistoryUncovered #TruthYouDontKnow #SaintOrStory #LegacyRevealed #UntoldStories #TheFullPicture #HistoryMatters Support Our Work MPESA: +254 726 916 908 Or through PayBill: 4096889 Account Name: LNN For those who want to dig deeper, here are some of the key sources and references used in today’s video.
