Hi, My "screen" name is Mama Upendo (Swahili for love), I learned about this site from my sister. I have met so many people in my life who struggled with an array of problems and it turns out most didn't want to be talked to but rather listened to. Sometimes really anyone ever needs is someone who hears them. I want to offer others the opportunity to be heard and to be seen. We dont need to talk about all the bad stuff in life, just the opportunity to chat and be heard. To build an open space where all topics can be raised and discussed free of judgment and persecution. Let's just talk, I am here to hear you out. (FYI: I am not a qualified therapist or psychologist and have no professional experience except for my own personal experiences. I just want to help others feel less lonely and make them feel loved, valued, and appreciated.)
