MY STORY

I'm Hanna Kebbede and thank you for stopping by. Due to my experiencing trauma, I wrestled with constant anxiety, not realizing I had post-traumatic stress. I pursued therapy for a while, but I followed my intuition and practiced drawing and writing to express what I felt. Gradually, I began a yoga & meditation practice alongside

regular physical exercise. I read many self-help books and investigated information about mental wellness and  In the process, I confirmed that my approach was effective from the teachings of Dr. Bessel van Der Kolk and others who focused on healing trauma, that creativity and practicing the arts  help reset the brain.

​

Even while I struggled with my own emotional instability, I obtained an MPA from Harvard University and became a consultant to international NGOs, including ten UN agencies. I organized gender equality and women empowerment entrepreneurial training projects.

I created TAASTTA.as a means to empower those who wrestle with mental and emotional turbulence. I developed content focused on mind-body wellness and my multicultural exposure. 

​

I am passionate and committed to bring about awareness and promote mental wellness, especially among women and young people in underprivileged communities.

​

I appeal to you to help me advance TAASTTA in whatever way you can. I appreciate every prayer, every dollar donation, every resource or piece of information, offer of partnership and/or collaboration.
