" It's said that experience is the best teacher and in my case is no different. Having been a victim of a mental health disorder and suicide survivor I have learnt first hand the extensive damage lack of knowledge on mental health can do. Being a part of the Millennium Fellowship will hone my skills and create a network of like minded individuals who we can work with together to make a difference in the world on matters mental health as we also work towards achieving the SDGs and creating a healthy globe "
