WLT Closes Successful Women’s Mental Health Series
Share this post:
WLT (Where Ladies Talk) celebrated women throughout the month of March, hosting a series of talks every Wednesday via Zoom under the title “Let’s Talk Like Crazy: Choose to Challenge Mental Health”. Front and centre were amazing women like Samina Cepal, Jessica St. Rose and Abisola Amina, who shared personal success stories. These were supported with valuable professional information from Francesca Plummer, Dr. Julius Gillard and Olympia Piper-Cools Vitalis. Singers Naomi Grandison and Sally Elwin, spoken word artistes Janice Hector and Lisa Dublin and calypsonian Lady Leen were engaged to entertain and to help us forget this pandemic, if only for a while.

International Women’s month in March is unusually dire this year in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions that have seen women put under increased stress. It is for this reason Where Ladies Talk felt it necessary to focus on mental health and our everyday challenges in the second instalment of “A Woman Speaks”.
Women face economic pressure as they lose almost twice as many jobs as men during Covid-19 are subject to an unequal burden in childcare and suffer increased violence as they are put in vul-
nerable positions during the lockdowns. The Where Ladies Talk online collective have sought to assist with a number of initiatives including “A Woman Speaks”.
