Annie James:

Intrigued by the mono-disciplinary approaches to human existence, Annie James, social scientist and therapist, spent years formally studying literature, psychology, and philosophy across undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, in order to develop culturally relevant practical interventions. Amidst her practice, she works to understand and intervene in culturally rooted mental health and social issues, particularly women's issues, colorism, and mental health stigma. Determined to offer free psychoeducation, she delivered free mental health workshops across schools in Bangalore, India for the Live Love Laugh program under an internship, and currently runs an instagram offering evidence based mental health information and practices. In private practice, she is set upon translating mental health data into several Indian vernaculars. Oddly particular about evidence based literacy, she writes poetry in her free time, incorporating academic concepts and philosophical psychology. Her current preoccupation is cultural imprinting and digital nausea.
