About the Millennium Fellow
Jennifer Solomon is a bright young medical student in the university of Jos, Nigeria. Jennifer has struggled at certain points with mental health and she came to realise that a large number of people around her also face such issues because of this growing concern for mental health and the lack of awareness in her community Jennifer has made it her personal goal to try as best as possible to people who may or may not be aware of the importance of a positive mental health by raising awareness and providing support groups for people in her community. Jennifer believes that our words and actions towards people subconsciously affect them and possibly their mental health in one way or the other , Jennifer hopes to use this knowledge and experience she has to make the world a better place starting from her community.
