“It was fantastic having Andreena come into our office a few weeks ago to talk to our staff about her lived experiences, the impact this has had on her mental health, and her journey of writing poetry to help her manage what she’s been through. There was a huge buzz in the office after her talk and it opened up a lot of conversations about mental health and the importance of looking after one another. Overall it was an inspiring, emotional and empowering talk that gave us all something to think about, and we can’t thank Andreena enough for taking the time to come and speak to us!”
“Please pass on our warm regards and thanks to Andreena, the event was really powerful – covered lots of grounds which is topical for us in force at the moment”
“Thanks again for arranging for Andreena to present a webinar with Sussex Police last week. This was a very powerful and impactful session. I’ve sent Andreena a message of thanks but also wanted you to know how much we enjoyed the input”
“I think she inspired a lot of people, myself included, to be brave and live their truth authentically every day. At its peak the event had over 250 attendees, which given the busy time of year for our business is quite amazing.”
