🔶️Introduction
I am a transracial adoptee from Nigeria to the UK arriving into the arms of my new white family against all the odds in a washing up bowl! I’ve hated washing up ever since. Learning how to navigate injustice, racism and equality have been my life language. This led to many mental health challenges to get to a place of self-acceptance, personal growth and using my challenges to become my strengths and eventually share with others.
✅ Diversity & Difference Sometimes dealing with long-term issues around race and identity in the work place can be detrimental to our mental health, so I share some powerful ways to stay well under pressure from meditation to lifestyle wellness hacks that can help overcome past and present trauma. This is great for the individual or for family our workplace teams.
