Hi! I’m Micaela

There have been many moments in my life when I felt unseen or unloved, which were feelings that intensified when we went into lockdown in 2020.

​

After reading tweets from black users who said that racial injustices were affecting their mental health in the summer of 2020, I knew I wanted to do something. During this time, I took a Research and Writing course that required us to do a final project on a topic of our choosing.

 

Since I am very passionate about mental health, I wanted to make a blog targeting black youth and young adults to both help and uplift them when their mental health gets tested. And so, Serene Feels was born, and I couldn't wait to share this passion project with the world once I was finished putting everything together.

​

Although this project has undergone much rebranding in two years due to God placing a new desire within me for this brand, I am excited to use the gifts that God has given me to uplift my brothers and sisters in Christ through this platform. I hope you will join me on this exciting journey to end the stigma of mental health in the church once and for all!
