After a suicide attempt, young Hailima Yates wanted to stop feeling numb, sad and angry at the world. When life’s challenges anchored her down, emotional distress kidnapped her spirit. She needed to rediscover her power.
And she did! Hailima is now CEO and Founder of Luv Mrk, a coaching company that provides customized workshops, events and multimedia productions on self-empowerment; social, emotional, and mental wellness; and diversity, equity, and inclusion. Hailima founded Luv Mrk to inspire others to recognize their power to transform themselves in ways that positively impact their life and their community. She cultivates a compassionate approach to the way we treat ourselves and others through her work and projects.
Join us for an authentic discussion like no other as she shares her all-too-real journey, thoughts and feelings with her suicide attempt that was thankfully unsuccessful. Hailima is a voice for others who face self-doubt, feel isolated and explains how one can be surrounded by what appears to be a network of others, yet still feel alone. She explains what we can do to support those we care about and at-risk warning signs and depression.
