💫 Meet Camille Lesforis founder of The Black Wellbeing Collective; a platform & community that creates safe workspaces, centering mental health & wellbeing. Camille started The Black Wellbeing Collective after personally struggling to cope with the flood of social media content & news during the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. There was a lack of space for her to find support & community to unpack her feelings & emotions. She prioritises the impact that racial distress has on Black communities, providing self-care tools & a safe space to feel heard & understood without the need for self-censorship or over-explaining. The Black Wellbeing Collective centres joy, compassion, validation and support through the work we do. Camille completed Cohort 8 of the Alt Funding School. She describes her funding journey as "wonky" & her biggest takeaway from the Alt Funding School is that "it's okay to be wonky!" >> If you want to join the next cohort of the Alt Funding School you can do so by heading to ConsideredCapital.io or visiting the link in the comments below.
