Resilience & Women in Politics: Aysha Emmerson

Aimée Look Season 2 Episode 6

Aysha Emmerson didn’t want to be defined by her illness. But she realized that by staying silent, she was fuelling the stigma.

So Aysha shared her story.

She founded the SELF.IE camps to empower young girls, addressed over 18,000 We Day Vancouver participants in 2017, and recently graduated with a degree in resilience studies from Harvard University.

We talked about her recent work in policy-making, and why she decided to share her mental health journey with so many.
