In a conversation with Carenity, Tesha opens up about her life before and after migraine became a central part of her narrative. 

Tesha's multifaceted approach to self-care, incorporating meditation, plant medicine, and African spirituality, offers a unique perspective on living with migraine:

'Make time and space to sit with how you feel about your diagnosis, I underestimated how long I would need to grieve my able-bodied life and be kind to yourself.'

'Again, this is something I failed to do, and I went through a period of self-loathing as a result.'

Book Review podcast Inside the Alcove moves offline for their first event, sharing the joys of art, literature, and community. 

'We're excited to create a space where people can come together, celebrate the power of stories, and cultivate community connection. It's more than an event; it's a testament to the transformative power of literature and the community we can create through shared experiences.' – Inside the Alcove founders Abi and Mim.

Alongside a live podcast from Inside the Alcove, the event also had workshops, performances, an art-making station from The Mamahood Space, a book-share Library, and catering from Ire's Kitchen.

Tesha was invited to promote Shades for Migraine Day, raise awareness for migraine disease, and hand out the special purple Shades for Migraine shades.

Books Aloud is a Birmingham Literacy Trust campaign that celebrates the practice of reading aloud to groups. Regardless of age, it can spark meaningful conversations; encourage a love of reading; access reading and strengthen literacy skills; and build connections among listeners.

This campaign – for library staff, care and health specialists, teachers, refugee officers, community leaders, and bookworms who'd like to volunteer – is a challenge to read aloud to groups of young people and adults at least five times before the end of July 2024. 

The Literacy Trust has prepared resources, prizes, and they'll even send you a book of your – or your group's – choice, to read aloud together.

Tesha has successfully earned her Level 3 certificate in 'Understanding the Principle of Dementia Care' via awarding body NCFC Cache (Council for Awards in Care, Health and Education)
