This week I am doing a solo episode on my mental health advice for high school students! From 504s, relationships with counselors, having a passion project, to working smarter not harder—I give all the details on what's allowed me to thrive academically while maintaining my mental health.

About She Persisted (formerly Nevertheless, She Persisted)

She Persisted is the reminder that someone else has been there too and your inspiration to live your life worth living.
