Our episode this week is a very delicate one and had all the marks of being a a difficult conversation to have.   However our guest barista this week Bola Bolarinwa who despite all that she went through was able to share her story with grace and laughter and this ensured that the conversation was not too heavy. 
Bola candidly, and with sometimes a bit of humour talked about having to deal with mental illness after suffering the loss of her son.  Her transparency and honesty is greatly admired.
Her testimony of recovery is also inspiring and phenomenonal. 
The aim of the episode was to increase the awareness on mental health issues , de-stigmatize mental health and remove the shame attcahed to it.

This episode with Abby Olufeyimi was recorded during the lockdown period.  It was a session reflecting on the adjustment that we all had to make.

2020 was the year of the mask, also the year of reassessing our values and in the midst of the crises and darkness there was a lot of innovation and creativity.

Abby asked the question: the year has been defined by a global pandemic, but has it defined you?

Abby Olufeyimi, fondly referred to as The Vicar, is the Head Pastor of the Builders House, RCCG Croydon. She is also a leader in the ecumenical movement for church unity in Croydon and beyond.
If asked about her passion, it would be her love for God and her family. She is an ardent worshipper, as well as a mother of three children and a grandmother. Her other passion is advocacy and justice. Abby also enjoys writing, travel, visiting art galleries and museums.
