Move it Forward Monday, Faith and Mental Health

I chatted with Kellene Diana (@kellenediana), mental health warrior, coach, founder of @greenheartuniversity and author.

Listen to our chat on IG Live here.

Her latest book is F Anxiety: This is My Time - a guided journal for navigating anxiety through the power of writing. For more than a decade, Kellene has worked to destigmatize mental health by developing and cultivating a safe place for men, women and teens to share their stories and receive resources and aid.

She is passionate about mental health awareness from her own experiences with battling and healing from anxiety and depression. She is more than an advocate but a survivor. Kellene is devoted to creating a better mental health system for the minority population in inner cities and disadvantaged communities whose resources, and funding are limited.

She has partnered with political figures, mega church leaders and influencers to spread awareness and develop programs to combat the increasing mental health crisis resulting from COVID-19. 

We discussed -

• Her her own journey with mental health challenges and how she is overcoming daily.

• The healing journey she is on which includes some essential tools - journaling, therapy, faith and being in community.

• Her work through Green Heart University, an online school, empowers Black men and women to advocate for themselves and their community, and bring “radical awareness to the importance of mental health.”
