Kesi & Naomi

Kesi

I am the Creative director of ADHD Babes doing all things... creative 🙂 Currently that means overseeing the Social Media Team, creating and maintaining our website, resources, blog and newsletter. I also run a weekly Art Group session and work alongside Viv on Business maintenance and development aspects. My day job is in Health and Safety ❤️

Naomi

I research and put together topics of discussion that explore different facets of ADHD and how it shows up in a range of areas such as relationships, career, self esteem and mental health. I hope to reframe how we as a community perceive ourselves and navigate the world around us as neurodiverse individuals in a neurotypical society.

Workshop Content

We will be exploring our identity within neurodivergence and creating a flag that represents our community, cohesion and solidarity.

We will provide all the resources you will need however we also encourage you to also bring your own media to use, such as magazines, recyclables etc.

About the exhibition

“Serendipity” celebrates a sense of familiarity within both the diaspora and black sisterhood. It is a study of the goodness and beauty that goes with existing as a black woman and finding joy in banality, a celebration of healing and self discovery.

Who we are

ADHD Babes is collective of Black women and non-binary people. We create safer spaces for us to flourish and live our lives to their greatest potential. We aim to empower people with community, tools, learning and healing spaces to redefine ADHD, tackle its difficulties and utilise its strengths.

All neurodiverse Black women and Black non-binary people are welcome at our events.

We have teamed up with an organisation called 'The Neurodivergent Now' who seek to reframe neurodiverse attributes as strengths, particularly in the workplace and creative industries. This movement is meant to go beyond awareness and catalyze sustained action.
