For this yearโs World Mental Health Day comes I had the opportunity to speak with @moniango for @risj_oxford about the Mental Health of Journalists. You guys know how passionate I am about creating awareness and ending the stigma and discrimination associated with ill mental health. Thank you Maurice for allowing me to share my story.
I salute all the other brave Journalists across the continent who also became vulnerable in this piece.
There is no Health without Mental Health.

From my conversation with @risj_oxford's @moniango: I wish as journalists, we asked ourselves if the way Iran is portrayed is only a result of political tensions or if it is also shaped by unconscious biases about people we see as different from ourselves

FGM silences girls through pain. We must all understand that trauma is not discipline. Culture must not be violent. Most survivors describe FGM as torturous. Girls have a right to dignity, health, and voice. #ZeroToleranceToFGM

Good morning Gov. @SakajaJohnson
I remembered these promises made in 2022,
While all are quite important, I am particularly interested to know the progress of the 2nd promise on this list.
