Melissa-Olivia welcomes Faith. She's lived in Australia for 28 years and ran her own fashion PR company for 14 years with an all white staff and retrained as a counselor, energy healer & mindfulness coach. Up until about 18 months ago, her practice was filled with all white clients  when she prayed to attract black clients. Now half her clients are black women, spanning both Australia & NZ. She also runs an online group called the Ubuntu Afro Sister Circle where up to 12 women talk about mental health issues.

She's passionate about shifting the stigma on mental health issues in the black community and healing the mental health impact of racism, colonialism and slavery. Her vision is to facilitate an annual wellness retreat to a different country in Africa, with the first one taking place in Ghana in November 2019.
