First of all, how are you and how are you coping in lockdown?
It was a little bit of struggle at first and I needed some time to process and adapt! So I spent most of my days having a cry, snacking and watching Netflix! Now, I have got myself a routine and I have reduced amount of news and social media I take in because that was really causing a lot of anxiety for me,

What does wellness mean to you?
It means to be kind of myself especially on those hard days and exploring ways I can take care of myself. I have my own little selfcare kit that I always retrieve to when in need! I suggest everyone to create one especially right now!
Tell us about The Teen Experience.
The teen experience is essentially a safe space for teen girls and we offer personal development workshops that explore relationships, beauty, mental health, finance, business, health and more!
The teen experience was co-founded with my friend Jamelia Donaldson who is about creating experiences in the community and we joint together with my passion for mental health and working with young people we been running for 3 years! It’s so beautiful to see the journey of the girls over the years who have attended.
What are some of the best things to come from The Teen Experience?
The best things are the friendships and bonds that form! You see a teen girl who attends by herself then following months she has a whole girl gang it’s beautiful to see. The open and honest conversations we have and the trust and feedback we get from the parents and carers.
