In this episode I chat with Blessing Dada. Blessing is a student in Youth & Community Development at Technological University Dublin. She is an outspoken, passionate activist on all sorts of social justice issues, especially mental health awareness (with her own lived experiences) among Black and other ethnic minority communities in Ireland.

She is also involved in organisations such as SpunOut and See Change.

I enjoyed our conversation so much. As a young Black Irish/Nigerian woman, her lived experiences are vital to understanding the lack of supports for people of colour here in Ireland in the world of mental health. As a therapist, I learned a lot during our chat about inclusivity and the importance of stepping outside my own privilege.
