Woman Crush Wednesday: Halima Layeni

Article here. Excerpt:

'What happens when a woman decides to dedicate her voice, time and energy to a conversation that society often finds uncomfortable? For Halima Layeni, the answer is simple: a movement begins.

In a world where men are frequently expected to be strong, suppress their emotions and deal with their struggles silently, Halima is challenging that narrative. Through her advocacy, she is making room for conversations about men’s mental health, emotional well-being and the importance of seeking support.

Halima is a Men’s Mental Health Advocate and the Founder and Executive Director of the Life After Abuse Foundation (LAAF), a non-profit organisation committed to providing education, mentorship and mental health support to boys and men across the world.

Her journey is rooted in a powerful belief that mental health support should not be limited by gender and that men, too, deserve safe spaces to speak, heal and receive help without judgement.'
