My name is Sitawa Wafula, a Kenyan mental health blogger and social entrepreneur.
I have been blogging and building art and social impact initiatives since the early 2000s. My first blog became one of the pioneering mental health platforms in Africa by providing localized mental health information, advocacy, and support for audiences across the continent.
For more than a decade, I ran a multi-award-winning mental health blog and founded a social enterprise that established and operated Kenya’s first free mental health support line.
In 2019, I stepped away from advocacy work to reconnect with myself.
This second blog documents my “second act” as I build these new things and live fully. Here, you’ll find stories about mental health and faith, everyday life, places I visit, and reflections from my academic journey and creative work.
To get started, I recommend reading:
• My Life, Advocacy & Work Before Moving Abroad: a look into my early advocacy journey and mental health work in Kenya (read here).
• Get to Know Me: Hobbies Edition: a more personal introduction to my interests (read here).
I hope you enjoy reading my stories as much as I enjoy sharing them.
Sending love and light,
Sitawa
