Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay Just last week, we launched our Chatterbox at the #Guildhall, @Hullccnews. It’s a key output of our @TheIdeasFund #NORMWellbeingProject, funded by @wellcometrust designed to help families bond, and hold deep conversations about mental health

I had an amazing engagement with hundreds of young people during the ELGC Youth Conference 2025. I am passionate about equipping young people to rise beyond their circumstances, discover their purpose, and step confidently into their full potential.

It was a privilege to speak at the @BizWeekHumber - a fantastic platform that brought together thought leaders across the region. Thank you at @TwoRidingsCF for the invite to share our incredible work at @youthaspirecon. We're grateful for your generous support and partnership

We successfully launched our innovative toolkit- “The Chatter Box: Family Conversation Starters” at the @TheIdeasFund showcase event at the @UniOfHull. This is one of our innovative outputs to help parents normalise mental health conversations and YP express their feelings.

It was a rare and privileged experience to share the beautiful afternoon with Him, Queen Camilla, and other members of the Royal family, providing a glimpse into a world of tradition, elegance, and prestige. We networked and connected with influential individuals #KingCharlesIII

The sound of soft music filled the air, adding to the enchanting ambiance. Seeing King Charles in good spirits despite his health challenges was the highlight of the evening for me. His presence commanded respect and admiration, yet he greeted guests with warmth & humility.

The atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation as guests mingled, dressed in their finest attire. As we walked through the garden, we couldn't help but admire the impeccable attention to detail in every aspect of the event. @RoyalFamily #Royalgardenparty

It was a #majestic experience filled with elegance and splendour to attend His Majesty the King #GardenParty yesterday. From the moment we stepped into the grand garden adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, I felt transported to a scene from a fairy tale.

I'm truly humbled by this great honour to attend His Majesty The King's #RoyalGardenparty at Buckingham Palace. This recognition is for everyone at @youthaspirecon. I am incredibly proud to be representing our organisation and community at such a prestigious event.

Beyond research and teaching, I am passionate about inspiring, empowering and mentoring young people from BAME communities and disadvantaged families to achieve their full potential. I work closely with @youthaspirecon to make this happen in my community.

Kindly retweet to reach other kids who need to benefit from the trip.

Glad to be part of the "In Conversation series"
