August 02, 2022 Anika Manelkar & Amrita Sundaram: No Therapist, No Problem! PART 2
In today’s episode, we continue our chat with high school juniors, Anika & Amrita about what it’s been like attending high school during the pandemic, social media, pressures of being a teen and their podcast, “No Therapist, No Problem”.
Sometimes, it’s difficult to sit down with a complete stranger and tell them what exactly is on your mind. So, Anika Manelkar and Amrita Sundaram have got your back! As high schoolers, they host the podcast “No Therapist, No Problem!”, which was started in December 2020. They hope to bring a sense of community and provide a safe space for people struggling with mental health, talking through topics such as mental hygiene or even depression so that you don’t have to spill your guts on that couch with a box of Kleenex in a room that probably smells like money and adults. Listen as they bring in their own experiences in mental health and how they’ve grown as teenagers.

July 05, 2022 Yunio Martinez Part 2
"[If I was to tell my younger self one thing, I would say...] be who you are, love who you want and express yourself in whatever way you want. And just be kind with everyone else and.... Express kindness!"
This episode of The YANApodcast features Yunio Martinez and his journey as a someone who identifies as a Hispanic gay male from Guatemala navigating mental health, his sexuality, and life as an immigrant to the United States. Mental health was not a subject discussed openly in the Spanish community so he did not know who to turn to, talk to, or reach out to for help when he was experiencing different emotions. He really began to notice his mental health declining during lockdown due to the pandemic. Yunio describes himself as having always been a very active person in the community and so he didn't know what to do with himself without access to all of his typical coping skills. He was trying to figure out a lot on his own by doing research on what mental health actually was when he came across NAMI. NAMI helped him begin to understand what mental health was and ways to manage it.
Having always had a love for soccer, Yunio is extremely passionate about the Casa Soccer League and thrilled to be able to take a leadership role as well as the opportunity to participate in the sport on a regular basis. The Casa Soccer League is a grassroots organization that aims to integrate mental health with physical health. Yunio continuously advocates for mental health and hopes to help shatter the stigma one day.

May 24, 2022 Olivia Miller - SelfTalkWithLiv Part 2
"I think I would tell my younger self to not be afraid to commit to wanting better for yourself. I think especially as women, we are encouraged to fit roles and that often means pausing what we want or what we want to do to support others; to be there for others; to push others up. And as much as that's important, I think that I would definitely tell my younger self to try to take a chance at a better life - a better future - for me because it's scary but you meet a lot of really cool people doing it who are doing good things and want to be there for you, too."
Today's episode features Part 2 of Olivia's story! Olivia Miller is an 20 year-old advocate from Waterloo Region, Ontario, Canada. She is currently completing a double major in Peace and Conflict and Social Development Studies with a minor in Political Science at the University of Waterloo.
Olivia is the co-founder and director of the Bridges of Hope Project and Community Ambassador for the Umbrella Project. She is a contributor with several community and national initiatives, including The Activist Collab, The Wilmot Post and more.
Bridges of Hope is a platform by youth for promoting mental health awareness by execution of local events and social media campaigns. Olivia uses this platform to speak at community events and schools, sharing her personal struggles with mental health and conflicts.
Olivia has been open about her journey with mental illness as a young adult. She has discovered through her experiences how important it is to take care of yourself and seek help when you need it, after struggling to graduate high school and suffering harsh anxious episodes. She is passionate about sharing her message with others so they know they are never alone.

May 03, 2022 Kenneth Bourne Part 2
"I would have told [my younger self] that he is deserving; that he is worthy; that he's loved; and that he's safe within himself. Because I always thought I had to be something that I wasn't in order to get safety - like I need to partake in this toxic masculinity exchange from the hood in order to feel safe, but you know, you are safe within yourself!"
In today's episode, we welcome back our guest, Kenneth Bourne, B.A., MSW., LSW. Kenneth is a member of the class of 2012 and the first Boys’ Latin graduate to earn an advanced degree. After receiving his B.A. in Sociology and Anthropology from Denison University, Kenneth went on to pursue a Masters of Social Work at Rutgers University. His career began in North Philadelphia, serving a diverse community with a disproportionately high rate of unmet healthcare needs at PHMC Care Clinic. He has worked with young adults, in Camden, as a Street Leader Director at Urban Promise Ministries Inc. and, in Philadelphia, as a Community Intervention Specialist with Drexel University Healing Hurt People program. As a Community Intervention Specialist he provided acute intervention, outreach, counseling, and case management for young victims of interpersonal violence between the ages of 18 and 35. Kenneth brought his talents back to Boys’ Latin often, partnering with school, city, and state officials on the #blackdegreesmatter campaign, as well as, hosting discussions on Black male identity and overcoming higher education obstacles. He currently serves as an alumni liaison to the school’s Board of Trustees. He also worked at Boys’ Latin Middle School as the only school social worker for 300+ students and families. He refers to himself as a passionate social change agent, and recently launched his startup business Bourne ANEW to propel the life success of Black boys and young men.
