Lockdown Life: Rethinking The Rainbow

Hi Everyone,

We had a fabulous launch of the Creating Mindfully-Lockdown Life- launch virtual meeting last Thursday! Thank you to the young people & families who ‘Zoomed In’ (15 in total)! I will be creating a poem, inspired by all the fabulous contributions. We welcome feedback from any WAPPY contributor about that session.

Co-host, May & I will deliver the 2nd session this Thursday 14th May, 4.30-5.45 pm, theming ‘Beyond The Rainbow’. We will be joined by ‘Rethink The Rainbow’ E-Book co-creators, Emily Madge Payne (children's author) & Samantha Maeer (business systems manager), who are really keen to meet our WAPPY contributors. They are inviting stories, poetry and songs for the upcoming charity E-book, due to be published for Mental Health week to support young people during the pandemic crisis and current Lockdown. Top winners from the ‘Don’t Worry/Be Happy Contest’ (due to be announced Monday 11th May) will have their works considered for the publication.

We will also have a quiz, storytelling and more Mindfulness techniques around the Rainbow theme, from May as well as provide space to share any inspirations and concerns you may have.

Ahead of the meeting please confirm that you would like to join and young people, send me through one simple question you’d like to ask the editors, Sam & Emily!

I will send you sign in details Wesnesday evening. Stay Safe Akuba (Grace Quansah) 🙏🏿
