Saddie Baddies is a digital mental health platform of over 8k followers, focusing on removing the stigma surrounding mental health for BIPOC. Our founder, Priscilla O. Agyeman, MPH is a mental health activist, digital content creator and public health professional who initiated this digital space in 2019.
We will host our very first in-person event if we win this Peerspace scholarship. We were already planning our first event before COVID, and our team anticipates that this first event would be a catapult for future events with Saddie Baddies.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
