Venda TikTok star raises awareness of mental health
The movement started with Thuso Mulaudzi, who did a series of lives on her TikTok platform to discuss various issues women face on a daily. The social media influencer and her co-hosts decided to hold TikTok Lives to discuss the problems they faced daily.
Talking to Briefly News, Mulaudzi says:

"I started sharing my journey of dealing with depression due to a matter that was publicly known which affected me emotionally. I started getting a lot of inbox messages from women of different ages going through different things.
"One thing I realised was though we all had issues or were going through depression, we are mostly professionals, entrepreneurs, mothers and daughters hence we started by holding lives to speak out about the different issues we face every day."
Mulaudzi saw the impact her social media lives were making and decided to do an in-person event in Thohoyandou in Limpopo to bring together women with different backgrounds under one roof.
"My co-hosts and I came together and decided to make a day dedicated to empowerment of women. The conference comprised of different speakers who are experts in their fields. We had doctors, attorneys, social workers, enterpreneurs and coaches on a pannel discussion with topics such as types of marriages, healing, enterpreneurship, infertility and so forth.
"Then we had a session where women shared their stories and how they overcame. We also had a Q & A session where those who need help get to speak to the experts who were available to answer or assist," said Mulaudzi.
