Ramsey High School Senior Faith Malki has wellness on the mind. As the creator and producer of a mental health and wellness podcast, Done With Faith, Faith talks to RHS seniors and teachers about different aspects of mental health and activities at the high school.
“I really wanted to create a podcast - even before the Profile of a Graduate project was assigned. My idea to discuss this topic came to life when I created an Instagram account discussing mental health. I knew I could start the conversations among peers, and learn how others were feeling. Instagram was the right outlet to get started with a younger audience.
When I created the podcast, I felt it was important to provide information to students from guests who are more experienced, where their insight would be trusted. Speaking with Mrs. Gorman was a turning point - motivating me to seek out additional teachers and adults to host because their perspective would be fascinating. Mrs. Gorman and I discussed having confidence, ignoring negativity, and gratitude. The information she shared was so valuable and insightful - it gave me access to to experiences she had with helping students, and I knew speaking with other adults, would provide access to additional experiences, ultimately helping others. -Faith Malki, RHS Senior & Creator, Done with Faith
