*************

🎙I host a series on Friendships & Mental Health on Sunday afternoons with the Mental Health and You Club. 💛

❌ I am not a licensed mental health professional and do not use my platform to provide any form of qualified therapy or advice. I also do not have the capacity to accept any form of trauma sharing.

✅ I am however able to create safe spaces for connecting people/communities with knowledge, resources or educational sources and holding intimate/general conversations using personal insights/experience.

Talk to me about:
▪️🙋🏽‍♀️navigating being an “elder millennial” woman with feminist values, cross cultural identities and, a lot of ambition;
▪️💛✨mental health and the self-growth journey;
▪️All things Public Service
▪️🗣💻career development & mentoring/networking or;
▪️🤷🏽‍♀️ adulting stuff in general.

Or about any of these ⬇️
