Insomnia and Meat Consumption

3.22 am...I am awake

My first thought: "you ate too much chicken. Your digestive system is out of wack"

We became friends and collaborators through the Breaking the Silence Initiative at Quetzal. Over the pandemic, we discussed in great details the impacts of poor mental health on wellbeing and physical health.

Projects

Growing up in the performing arts sectors, I have seen theatre professionals shipping projects and plays every year, touring them and closing them for good.
