" I am passionate about mental health matters and with the recent trends of mental health illness of the young people in Kenya, I strongly feel that something has to be done. I believe it will start with me. The Millennium Fellowship will help me to learn and enhance my skills in collaboration with other fellows. I believe the fellowship will provide the perfect platform into achieving this dream of creating awareness and educating about mental health as well as providing a safe space for the youths in Kenya. "
