Hi, I am
Whitney Mwangi
Let’s talk about communications, psychology and the well-being of Africa’s youth.
Pay attention to what you are good at, and do that deliberately.
Feels like just the other day I was 12 imagining a phenomenal future as a civil engineer. Then later a doctor. Yet here I am today, navigating the tides of health communications in the development world after following my love for writing and science.
Alongside this work, I founded the Story Book Africa, a creative social enterprise born from a question I asked myself while navigating my own life hurdles: what would it look like if young Africans had safe spaces to tell their unfiltered stories and process their experiences as they heal and grow?
That question, and the lived experiences behind it, have now shaped the next chapter of my journey—pursuing a PhD in Clinical and Health Psychology. I am exploring the mental health impact of generational political violence in youth in Africa.
