" “What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” – Glenn Close
I believe that there’s no health without mental health and mental health is crucial to our growth and development as individuals and a society at large, this is what drives my passion for mental health advocation.
Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will enhance my soft skills in terms of leadership and communication, helping me to better my communication with my community and make social impact.
I’m open to learning new things and skills that will enhance my development and make me more valuable to my community and the world at large. "
