Mental Health Advocates, Inc
Where Mental Health & Pop Culture Come Together!
Empower! Educate! End Stigma!
What happens when a geek girl with mental health conditions reframes them as Superpowers
on her journey from academics to single-parenthood, all while
surviving of cancer and domestic violence, and then becoming Health Minister?
She Embraces Her Superpowers & Becomes a Mental Health Superhero!
My love of pop culture and passion for learning, growing and helping others
led me to create two mental health programs that foster education and empowerment:
Embrace Your Superpowers - The Marvel-inspired Reframing that started it all!
Bulletproof To Stigma - Mental Health tools found in the music of Korea's BTS!
Keynotes,
Panels,
Workshops &
Retreats!
"The way you present these ideas is truly phenomenal and completely relatable.
I left your presentation looking at everything in a whole new positive perspective!“
