As an Eritrean immigrant to the US, I have witnessed firsthand how cultural stigmas and beliefs can impede our understanding and treatment of mental illness. Being an immigrant from Eritrea to America, she witnessed firsthand how cultural beliefs and stigmas could make understanding mental illness challenging. When her own family started experiencing difficulties related to mental health issues, she knew it was time to act.

That is why I designed my book to be accessible to all communities, regardless of language or culture.
