On this episode I am joined by Bright Shitemi, the Founder and Executive Director of Mental 360, a non-profit social enterprise that promotes mental health by raising awareness and supports the mental health needs of the youth in Kenya by providing holistic and affordable solutions. This is done through art, physical wellness, therapy and peer support systems.

Mental health is a highly stigmatized topic in African communities, but Bright is driven to change perceptions and beliefs on mental illness. Mental 360’s approach of leveraging technology and use of art and experiential learning as a form of expression and in awareness has enhanced the mental health conversation in Kenyan communities.

Happy listening all!!
