Hi! I’m Micaela
Follower of Jesus, Creative, and Encourager
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 of our choosing.
Since I am very passionate about mental health, I wanted to make a blog targeting black youth and young adults to 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 a lot of rebranding in the last year 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!
