Talk to Coco
Talk to Coco is a black, queer, non-binary poet & writer, and mental health activist creative. Coco, has created a safe space for thousands of people from all around the world to have someone to talk and share their experiences, feelings and thoughts with, and just feel understood & accepted.Talk to Coco came about because they wanted to break all negative stigmas attached to mental health and start talking openly – showing so many people like herself, that they’re not alone and for people to see a real life person, in the flesh, talking about and projecting real life issues.Coco started their platform to dismantle the ‘writer’, ‘poet’, ‘mental or crazy’, ‘lgbtq+ not being normal’, stereotypes and to changing what ‘normal’ is. Always using their poetry, as a lens for honesty and transparency, and expressing this through speaking, writing so honestly & openly; breaking all stigmas attached & saving lives at the same time. As its vital to see people like Coco around the world thriving and feeling ‘a part,’ not alone.Through the From Now On project, Talk to Coco received mentoring support and critical feedback from Taylor Edmonds, Co-founder of Where I’m Coming From.Read more
