ABOUT BRAIN LEARN HEAL
My name is Bianca Olivia Jeanne Cassell and when I started Brain Learn Heal in 2017, I envisioned it as a public journal. At first, I used this space to hold myself accountable, because maximizing physical and mental health can only come from intentional, daily effort.
Today, this blog is so much more. I am constantly overwhelmed by the encouragement and feedback I receive from readers. Guiding others along their wellness journey is my passion in life, so please don’t hesitate to let me know exactly what topics you would like to read about.
About Me.
I am an asexual, non-binary transgender person who is passionate about well-being. I first graduated from Wits University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in psychology and linguistics. My passion for psychology began during my undergraduate, when I loved exploring the way people function. I also have a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (cum laude), which emphasises my love of learning. I am currently studying a Master of Psychology at Wits University with a focus on (1) qualitative research, (2) race, racism and racialisation and (3) language and thought. My thesis topic is The Mental Health Effects of Load Shedding on Health Care Workers.
At BrainLearnHeal we acknowledge the importance of conservation in the survival of all species, including humanity. We do not exist separate from nature and superior to animals. Rather, we are animals and we live with animals in nature.
