Takariva is a podcast dedicated to exploring mental health and well-being from a community perspective, hosted by myself. The podcast launched in 2024 with the support of Prof. Jyoti Gupta from Peabody Vanderbilt and is currently under development as we work to enhance the content experience. Takariva will be returning soon with new episodes.

The podcast focuses on advocating for community-based approaches to supporting mental health and wellness. Through thoughtful conversations and expert insights, Takariva aims to bridge the gap between academic research and community practice in the fields of trauma, human sexuality, and community development.

I bring unique perspective as a Community Development Practitioner, with specialized focus areas in trauma, human sexuality, and community centered-approach to development. This academic foundation, combined with a passion for community-centered healing, drives Takariva's mission to create meaningful dialogue around mental health and well-being.
