S2 EP2 – Decolonizing Mental Health in Jamaica
Manage episode 486783855 series 3264088
What happens when we reclaim the narrative around wellness and identity?
In this powerful episode, Olivia Shaw-Lovell joins Mental Matters to explore what it truly means to decolonize mental health in the Jamaican context. From her journey as a small-town girl turned global advocate to the founding of Women of Destiny, Olivia speaks with clarity, heart, and boldness.
We unpack the impact of gender-based violence, the legacy of colonialism, and how resistance has too often been mislabeled as madness. This isn’t just about systems—it’s about spirituality, community, and the freedom to define healing on our own terms.
This conversation is a call to remember who we are—and to build mental health practices that reflect our truth.
🎧 Tune in. Let’s talk truth, culture, and liberation.
