I decided to create this PSA due to my efforts to advocate for mental well-being through my digital presence. My audience can explore more of my work at my personal website at https://sites.google.com/view/aaryapatelgettoknowme/home. There, I talk about giving confidence to women in finance, building a strong mental, and physical presence in a male dominated field.

Hope4Spandana PSA

Welcome to my episode of the Hope4Spandana podcast series. My group and I chose to take a deep dive into nonprofits that are impacting South Asian communities from the inside out. In this educational episode, I focused on a cause close to my identity: Hope4Spandana, a nonprofit working to break the negative connotations often associated with mental health in South Asian communities.
This episode is part of a group effort to expose multiple angles of the same mission: spreading awareness and creating supportive environments for those struggling with mental illness. This is a series where each episode stands alone, but together, we tell a cohesive story.
