During my free time I like to doing things that impact the community positively ,hiking and travelling.

Creating a Mental Health application Project

I'm a technology leader working on developing African centered technologies.

We are developing a new video conferencing platform tailored for African market.

I'm also into Al and natural language processing whereas we are developing models to enable the translation of indigenous African languages.

Currently I have a number of projects including developing a mental health application which will enable users have access to culturally sensitive mental healthcare and be part of a community which cares about them.

There is no robust mental health community which brings together Black mental health professionals from all over the world and Black Mental Health Matters is working towards filling this gap.

All our projects are volunteer driven as the organization doesn't have any sponsors yet.

I believe that through your support we will be able to build a virtual mental health clinic for people in Africa and in the diaspora to have resources to better manage their mental health.

Our goal is to provide a virtual environment where healing is encouraged and mental health is the first priority.

With your support we will achieve this for greater common good of humanity struggling with the stigma which comes with mental health.

Dear Backers,

I'm raising funds to support meet the costs of development of Black Mental Health Matters Application platform which will connect users that need mental health services with mental health providers.

Amidst the pandemic ,Mental Health has been a serious challenge among the Black community with many unable to access culturally sensitive mental healthcare because of disparities that exists when it comes to access to mental health services.

In the United States only 5.1% percent of psychologists are Black or African American while 75.9% are white followed by Hispanic or Latino at 10.8% and this makes it very difficult for Black communities to get culturally sensitive mental healthcare.

The application is on its second phase focusing on the developing web application functionalities for the dashboard, audiocasts to enable users to join live audio conversations, journaling tools and quizzes to help match users with preferred mental health providers.
