why i am doing 20talk

on december 6th, i’ll be sitting in a box, silent, for 20 hours with nothing but a blanket, pillow and a blank notepad. all as part of 20talk- a fundraiser raising awareness and support for mental health.

mental health is something quite close to me as i’m sure everyone is aware. i’ve had my own ups and downs and i know what it’s like to go through hard times quietly. i believe this will also be a really pivotal moment for me and where my own health is. a way to pause, reflect and do something that actually means something.

the silence represents what so many people experience every day and i hope this can help start more honest conversations about it.

all funds raised go directly to 20talk, helping them run free workshops, community programs and support spaces that make mental health conversations normal and accessible for young people. i really believe fundraising like this is so important, we’re made so aware of mental health these days, but there’s still not enough accessible help. that’s something i’ve been on the back end of myself, and it’s one of the many reasons i wanted to be part of this.

if you can, please donate or share, it would mean a lot 💖💐🎀
