My name is Ishaan Shah and I am a 17-year-old student from the UK. I am also an award-winning, international human rights activist, conservationist, feminist, blogger and writer. Towards the end of 2016, I watched a documentary about slavery and human trafficking, focusing on the exploitation of children for labour, and sex. I was shocked, […]
If I had seen someone running (summer or winter) 11 years ago I would have told you those people were nuts. Who would do that to themselves? I was a self proclaimed couch potato. A single mom, working a stressful job. Like so many people, I had been to the gym off and on, but […]

I am also an accomplished […]
It’s funny that when asked to describe ourselves, we often reply with what we do for a living. So many times, I’ve shared my job title first beyond anything else. I placed so much of myself into my career that work became an integral part of defining who I was and who I wanted to […]
When I was growing up, I spent a lot of time with grandparents. I have very fond memories of spending time together doing things like playing cards with my grandma or going for long nature walks with my grandpa. I was fortunate to have had them play such a big part of my childhood. It’s […]
It took 3 years and 30+ doctors to find out that the concussions I had playing junior hockey were the underlying cause of my mental illness. Although I eventually found a solution, four guys I played hockey with weren’t so lucky and died by suicide before the age of 25. These are the reasons why […]
To say that it was strange to be a patient on a psych ward at a time when I worked as a nurse on a psych ward would be an understatement. I was 27 when major depressive disorder first came knocking at my door. After an initial period of denial, I was able to tick […]
