I feel very passionate about de-stigmatising mental illness and exchanging it with support for everybody who struggles with an internal battle, warfare within their mind. Mental ill health can creep up on anybody, regardless of who you are or the life you have lived. That is why I believe it is so important to normalise talking about what's going on inside our minds, to ask for help when we need it without the fear of judgement, to receive the support and compassion we all deserve. 

Mental ill health is something I have sadly witnessed and experienced all of my life, whether through family members, loved ones, or myself. I have seen the negative effects of societal norms and its correlation with anxiety disorders, and how living in poverty can negatively impact your mental wellbeing, present and future, paving the way for other illnesses. I've watched helplessly as family members, friends, loved ones slipped into psychosis before my eyes and not know what to do to fix it, I've heard recounts of extreme PTSD from family elders and how it still effects them later in life. As well as my own struggles with mental health. I personally know well how trauma can clutch at our skin and keep us living in fear.
