Mental health as a fresher: advice from one student to another

Published for the Medical Defence Union, the UK's largest medico-legal organisation

17 October 2023

​

In the first article that I was asked to write for the Medical Defence Union, I shared some of the most important insight I'd learned about mental health, university life, how to effectively study, and getting involved. Although the article is tailored to first-year medical students, I think that the life lessons I try and communicate here can be useful for everyone.

Becoming happier and less stressed by changing your mindset

Public speech delivered to the University of Bristol student body in collaboration with Project:Talk, a community-based mental health organisation 

16 March 2022

​

Drawing on personal experience, philosophy/psychology reading, and classic self-help books, I gave one of Project:Talk's most attended speeches ever- all about mental health. How we perceive the world and respond to situations is a massive part of wellbeing, and modalities of therapy like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are all about working on that. I wanted to share what I'd learned with others to help make dealing with life just a little bit easier.

‘Institutionalised Racism’ and What That Means. A History of Racism in the USA.

Summer 2020

​

This is an article I wrote during the time of the George Floyd & Black Lives Matter protests. It describes a history of racism in the USA from the c.1600 founding of the Jamestown colony to contemporary America in 2020, drawing upon this history to explore what 'institutionalised racism' actually is. It is written explicitly in condemnation of the institutionalised racism prevalent in (of course, not exclusively) the USA.
