In Other News Podcast

So there’s no way we could have a conversation about mental health in the context of body image, without hearing the other side of the conversation – LADIES! A thoroughly fleshed out conversation took place with 3 amazing women from very different professions but similarly have a professional and personal connection to the conversation of body image and body confidence.  Part 2 of the mental health awareness week series features Founder of The Curve Catwalk and Co-Founder of Curlture Trina Charles, a return visit from Personal Development Coach and Author, Danielle Ennis and another very special co-host Brand Director at Treasure Tress, Make up artist and Photographer Siobhan Rowanne. The conversation covers where we think our first ideals of body images come from, and what we love, dislike, would change and have learnt to accept about ourselves and more. Connect with the ladies,  Trina Charles - Instagram: @itsTrinaNicole | Danielle Ennis - Instagram: @miss_ennis | Siobhan Rowanne - Instagram: @siobhanrowann

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in line with the theme for the country this year, which is body image, we wanted to chat to a group of girls and guys whose work speaks to body image, self-care, mental health and perception.  First in this series of conversations is with Co-Founder of Heads Up 2 Barbers, T-Styles alongside a very special co-host, Darren Assiamah. The three of us discussed childhood insecurities, how barbering can become a form of mentorship and what ‘the process’ in life can teach us.
