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!
