"Inclusion is not an opportunity, it’s a necessity"-The Colour Factor
Growing up watching Oprah on television, Priscilla Cherry, was inspired to see women of colour in positions of power, with the hopes that she may also one day join them on stage. She pursued her passion for storytelling and has worked with ET Canada, LIVE with Kelly, and Breakfast Television, aspired to create that same feeling of connectedness for others.
After experiencing several back to back losses, Priscilla took some time off to find the root of her storytelling message; mental health advocacy and making others feel a little less alone. She started working for Canada’s largest mental health organization where she facilitated wellness workshops, wrote, hosted and produced #RecoveryIsPossible: A Mental Health Podcast. Today, Priscilla is the co-founder and Director of Operations at, The Colour Factor, a Non-Profit organization aimed at decolonizing and reclaiming mental health and wellness for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour.
Priscilla believes that no one is exempt from dealing with mental health concerns and no matter what your story is, you too can transform your pain into purpose.
