Speaking the Unspeakable Through Creativity: A Reflection on Mental Health and “Taking Off the Mask”

On October 18th, 2024, I co-facilitated the “Take Off the Mask” event with Mrs. Folaji Fasanya-Omoyeni at Milton Keynes Blue Light Hub. The event, part of Black History Month and Mental Health Week, offered emergency service staff a creative outlet to address mental health through beaded jewellery-making. By focusing on creative therapy, participants took a break from their demanding roles, using the activity to express emotions and unwind. This session allowed them to “take off the mask” of professionalism and connect with themselves and others, promoting mental well-being and open conversations around mental health.

I was going through the archives of my work and my look books, this lookbook dated back to 2011 struck me and made me pause a while to pull myself together; there were so many pieces in this campaign lookbook, but I will share a few of these with you. I remember the story that inspired this collection so well. At the time, I was transitioning from a sensitive...

Flow Method: When Challenge Meets Skill

Flow Method: When Challenge Meets Skill

As creatives, we meet various challenges in our creative ventures. I find that the most challenging task I take up; are the ones I love the most. Ok, call me weird, but if the task isn't challenging and requires a lot of skill, I'm not profoundly connected to it.

So this is where the "Flow” experience happens. Involved...
