Brave Talks - Courageous Conversations Komal Fatima Rizvi & Tajdar Omer Chaudry
-
- Health & Fitness
Brave Talks is about exploring what ‘living authentically’ looks like. These conversations are about learning from those who have embarked on journeys of immense courage and pain. It is a conversation with no frills.
While leveraging the power of personal storytelling, Brave Talks hopes to normalise conversations about mental health, emotional challenges and personal struggles; topics that carry stigma and shame in our cultures and can often prevent us from seeking help and support.
Brave Talks is where human messiness is celebrated by Komal and I; two ordinary people trying to understand what it really means to be a Human, Being.
