How embarassing can it be to talk about mental health struggles? Why is this something that we need to talk about? Why is talking about mental health not dramatic?

Tune in with TSP's designer, Nadhirah (whom we fondly call Nad) as we try to make sense of mental health struggles and why is that journey (no matter how tiring) is an important one to take?

Want to be a voice to the community? To have a separate avenue to voice out on the injustices in your community WHILE kicking ass as a uni student? Want to be a better version of a super confident self?

Join us as we had our very own team member, Shameera Nasreen who co-leads one of our content series, #sembangsambal (a monthly live session on youth issues although we are on a hiatus for now) as we discuss about the changes of youth platforms and the impact industry as a whole from COVID- days to now and also how youth activism made this girl into a better version of herself as she is a youth leader who inspires youths on a national scale!

P.S= We are IN LOVE with our new look! Let us know what you think!

Have you been in a situation where your country experienced a major earthquake and you are miles away from your family, not being able to reach them for 24 hours?

Tune in as we had a heavy yet real conversation with Miemo, a Syrian refugee (they/them) as they speak about the recent Turkey-Syria earthquake, the problematic Syrian regime, how they apparently love durian and the bittersweet experience of calling Malaysia home for the past 11 years.
