" For me it is excites me whenever I hear various conversations concerning Mental health awareness. However, I believe more is yet to be done and can be done especially amongst campus students and teenagers. Since it's inclusion in the SDG declaration under SDG 3, I believe, there's much more that can and should be done in acheiving 'good mental health and wellbeing' especially in the African continent where such issues are rarely discussed or even stigmatized in some instances. I am excited for this journey I'm about to begin exploring our ideas as a part of the Millennium Fellows. "

About the Millennium Fellow
Nickson 'Nambi' Mugambi is a young leader passionate about literally everything he sets his mind on. Nickson is a strong believer in the power of process and not achieving the end result. He is therefore a student of life who believes that there is no one path towards a better world for himself and humanity. It is through learning, innovating and interacting that he believes, a better world can be reimagined.
Nickson is also a dreamer, who chooses to look beyond the barriers of life as less of limitation and more of an opportunity to grow to be a more resilient being.
He enjoys creative writing and music as his hobbies and spends a portion of his leisure time doing the same. He is also passionate about the mental health campaign and he hopes to be one of the leading voices in spearheading this crucial aspect of human existence.
