Below are some of the causes that are close to my heart:
- Female Genital Mutilation – I hope that one day this horrific, brutal practice is eradicated.
- Women’s Rights – I wish for a fair and equal world, where women are as safe and respected as men and have access to the same opportunities.
- Mental Health Awareness – A cause that is very important in my life. I strive to spread awareness and reduce stigma and discrimination. Mental health is as real an issue as physical health, but by no means a deterrent to living a happy, healthy and fulfilled life.
- Psychology – Technically not a cause, but compounding on the above point, I have a deep interest in anything to do with how the mind works. I believe that understanding the motives and inner workings of others makes you better equipped to interact with them in a more meaningful way. Oh, and to understand myself – easier said than done.
There are many others, of course, however these are the ones that are my conversation starters!
