Last week, we kicked off our University Tour at Queen Mary University of London  and Ravensbourne University London  as part of our With You(th) In Mind Project. We hosted live Q&A sessions, interactive question polls, and a panel discussion with a Uni representative and a BMMUK therapist, all designed to create a supportive space for students to talk about mental health. Plus, we handed out some amazing goody bags! 🖤 And we're not done yet—two more universities are up next this week! We also want to thank Rare Beauty's Rare Impact Fund for their support for us to deliver our youth-focused mental health event for the second year running. #WithYouthInMind #BlackMindsMatterUK #UniversityTour #MentalHealthAwareness #BlackHistoryMonth
