Imagine the title of each of the books you write being underwritten by some catastrophe, hurt, disaster, or some such crazy turn your life takes—and finding lessons to write about. Who in the world does that and causes a mind shift whilst weathering life? Umind?! sits down with Thabani Mlilo to discuss the societal shifts we need to continue having around mental health and wellness.

Thabani is the Co-Founder and Facilitator at Ubuntu Lab. He has presented at the SoCreative Summit, Seedstars Summit, and Hub Konneckt events, among others. A YALI RLC SA Alumni and author of three books, he has toured much of Africa through his work, using his book The Shift to challenge young people to transform their mindsets and become more proactive. He has also released an audio/visual series called Unfiltered, aimed at empowering individuals on their personal journeys.

This episode is brought to you by Sit With U, in partnership with Page Poetry Alive and in collaboration with Wired 2 Love & Thrive, exploring mental health and wellness in real, transformative ways.
