Your energy, your style, and let’s not forget your back up team was absolutely fabulous! Thank you!”

“Please keep it up. Due to the stigma and lack of culturally sensitive and appropriate support out there, our people (Ghanaians and black African general) don’t really reach out for Mental Health support. And I know from people reaching out to me and professionals in my network, a lot of our people are suffering in silence. So although last night is not a substitute it will go a long way to lift people’s spirits up’”
