Member Spotlight: Michelle Yang of Living Well, Happily
|
|
We are so excited to honor and recognize Michelle Yang, author and peer mental health advocate!
After years of hiding her bipolar disorder, Michelle decided to use her gifts of storytelling to fight stigma and began writing about her experience. She started a blog, Living Well, Happily, and has been writing ever since.
Most recently, she was featured in an article for the Washington Post where she discussed the ways in which the pressure ot breast feed at all costs hurts the mental health of new moms.
Michelle has also been featured on the Giving Voice to Depression podcast, where she spoke about her journey fighting stigma and embracing her diagnosis as an Asian American woman.
Congratulations Michelle!
