Hey Fam! Welcome Back to THE NEW AFROLIT!
This week, a full circle moment, I had the pleasure of hosting Paakow Essandoh, Founder and CEO of MIZIZI International, LLC a brand rooted in highlighting African countries and the Black diaspora at large. We had great dialogue and really just sought to answer the question: Does Mental Health Matter in the Immigrant Dream? How do we live our dreams and STILL have an endorsement from our parents...Can we ever? We discussed:
-How to set boundaries for your own mental health, regardless of what family/loved ones say
-The importance for solid friendships
-Dating as a young entrepreneur
-Advice on how to stop overthinking and get it done!
Tell us your thoughts? How do you protect your mental health?
