Olivia Cheng Instagram – It’s the tail end of AAPI Heritage Month AND Mental Health Awareness Month! My bandwidth’s a bit low as it’s been hectic in the best way, but with @taaf reminding me how suicide is the leading cause of death amongst AANHPI youth aged 15-24, I wanted to hop on here and highlight TAAF’s study which I’ve linked to in my bio. Reading it, I saw the young me reflected, the young me that still flares up but has learned to manage the anxiety and self pressure to succeed through connection and creativity— like painting a lamp shade with stripes to ease the mental looping and give my nervous system a path to find its way back to centre. What’s your version of painting a lampshade with stripes? Can you help your kids find theirs? 🙂 Happy Asian Heritage Month AND Mental Health Awareness Month! May we all find our way back to centre, feel pride in our culture and identities, and know we are enough ❤️ | Posted on 27/May/2025 21:15:00
