Meera Varma is a Mental Health Activist and TEDx Speaker from in Los Angeles, CA. Her struggles with mental health cast a dark shadow over many of her experiences as a teenager and were compounded by the cultural shame she faced when seeking treatment as an Asian-Indian woman. The cultural stigma she endured is what fueled her passion for activism at the age of 14. Meera’s work focuses on suicide prevention, mental health policy, and psychoeducation. Learn about her at meera-varma.com.
