In Ouakam - Dakar, we talk to psychologist and social activist Laura Zini.

After living for many years in Western Africa, Laura shares her multiple life stories, from her decision to quit working in "development" projects in Senegal to retrain to accompany migrants in Italy to face the difficulties of integration and possible return to their homelands, from her formative experience working in a psychiatric clinic in Dakar to learning about local healing practices and unlearning some of her western assumptions about mental health and community.    

Thank you, Laura!
