Welcome to the Culture Meets Wellness podcast (formerly known as the Anona Wellness Podcast), where we are breaking down cultural barriers to accessing wellness. On this podcast, we will be joined by individuals from all walks of life who each share one thing in common - they are black, indigenous, & people of colour (BIPOC) and/or immigrants. Whether they're university students, psychotherapists, law professionals, social media influencers, industrial designers, CEOs, or somewhere in between, each of these guests have had some sort of personal experience with wellness and each of these individuals have had that experience impacted by their cultural background. In each episode, we’re going to discuss the individual's stories (including career and personal), how they have gotten to where they are today, & what their experience with mental health and/or wellness has been like along that journey. Through these conversations, we hope to normalize discussions about wellness and mental health in communities where it tends to be neglected, and eliminate the stigmas associated with it. Thank you in advance to anyone listening, and welcome to the diversity in wellness movement! Host: @chongobwalya IG: @anonawellness. Created by Chongo Bwalya.
