At 25, Priscilla Cherry thought she had all the answers. Ten years later, she doesn’t want to, because who has time for that? After experiencing a lot of confusion in her twenties about her purpose in this life and some self-reflection and care, Priscilla found that she’s here to build bridges between art and people, as well as help and support those who are struggling with their mental health.

Now a social artist and peer support worker, Priscilla also emphasizes how important it is to reframe failure, the role of spirituality, and the value of community.

We also explored other themes such as

·     Curiosity

·     Personal growth

·     Mental health themes

·     Self-reflection

·     Living in the present

·     … and self-care practices.
