Sandra Addo is a Diversity Advocate in Higher Education and she strives to promote equity in education. She's the first-gen Ghanian after her parents moved to Dallas, Texas. We had a great discussion about race and mental health relations. | Contact Sandra: @sandraaddo (Facebook/Instagram) @sandraoaddo (Twitter) |
➡️ After the episode, I just want to make a shout out to Sandra and whoever needs this, you're loved and you're good enough. You don't need to do anything to prove that. I hope you find contentment and peace along the way and if you'd like to talk to me, please do reach out to social media or email. :)
