Andreena Leeanne is a London based Self-Employed Lived Experience Speaker, Wellbeing Workshop Facilitator, Poet & Author of CHARRED: A survivor speaks her truth to inspire, a collection of poems published by Team Angelica in October 2020 and shortlisted for a Polari First Book Prize in 2021.
Andreena has created a variety of 40 minute presentations + 20 minute Q&A which she delivers as a ‘Lunch & Learn’ to corporate organisations who are keen to promote the importance of kindness and compassion in the workplace.
The multimedia PowerPoint presentations focus on authenticity, intersectionality, equity, equality, diversity, inclusion and belonging from a lived experience perspective and include poetry as well as real life examples of micro-aggressions and practical tips for allyship in the workplace.
Andreena also facilitates virtual and in-person creative wellbeing workshops which are designed to assist the participants with identifying suitable self-care practices for personal growth, exploring curiosity, creativity and freedom of expression to avoid burnout, reduce staff sickness absence and increase productivity.
It was fantastic having Andreena come into our office a few weeks ago to talk to our staff about her lived experiences, the impact this has had on her mental health, and her journey of writing poetry to help her manage what she’s been through. There was a huge buzz in the office after her talk and it opened up a lot of conversations about mental health and the importance of looking after one another. Overall it was an inspiring, emotional and empowering talk that gave us all something to think about, and we can’t thank Andreena enough for taking the time to come and speak to us!
Andreena was great, her presentation, story and delivery was amazing. I know the event was found beneficial and moving by a number of the team across UK and Ireland.
