'Life Happens' ... with Rachel Williams

In April 2021, NHS worker Rachel Williams delivered a powerful and moving TEDx Talk, courageously sharing her experience of mental health in the context of being a black woman.

In this episode of 'Life Happens' 87% marketing director James Gwinnett speaks to Rachel about her experiences and her belief that we all need to ... pause. We can’t operate at 100% all of the time, yet we impose unrealistic expectations on ourselves to do so. Yet, Rachel explains that giving everything you have, even if it’s not 100% of what you’re capable of, is all anyone can ever ask of you.

Rachel is taking the first step, starting the conversation and being brave in talking about mental health, so that others can do the same, especially within the black community, where more people suffer with mental health issues.
