The inspiration for Be-Afya comes from my life across 3 continents, working at social impact startups, dancing professionally on a national stage, and exploring therapy and meditation. Background in Dance: I have previously trained as a professional dancer and was selected into a highly competitive high-potential dancers cohort in one of India’s leading dance companies. I have also danced at the international level, including as part of the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. Finally, I have experience leading dance classes for a variety of audiences. Career in social impact: For 5 years, I worked on several market-based solutions to drive social impact across France, Kenya, and Europe - in fields ranging from agriculture, education, and fintech. This has given me valuable exposure to ecosystems which require a constant balancing between financial and impact outcomes. Experience with mental health: I have personally been an avid client of both therapy and meditation apps, and have learned a lot of mental management techniques. The cognitive elements of our workshops have been designed by a mental health professional.
