Welcome to “Making Lived Experiences Matter”

December 16, 2023

Hello, I'm Seema, and I'm excited to finally say, "Like, share, and subscribe!" After much contemplation, today felt like the perfect day to start my YouTube channel, "Making Lived Experiences Matter," inspired by my own journey and thesis. Why This Channel? I've been passionate about sharing perspectives on mental health, disability, education, and more. Over the years, I've noticed that many discussions on these topics lack depth or miss crucial viewpoints. Instead of commenting or writing to others, I decided to create my own space where I can share insights from my 20+ years of marriage, 18 years of motherhood, and extensive professional experience. What to Expect? This channel will delve into various subjects, from mental health to inclusive education, homeschooling, and parenting. My goal is to offer balanced, thoughtful discussions informed by lived experiences and professional expertise. Why Now? Today was special. A surprise cake from a dear friend and an unexpected visit from a close friend gave me the final nudge. My husband, my greatest cheerleader, has been encouraging me, and I realized that it's time to share my journey with you. Join the Conversation I look forward to your suggestions and questions, which will guide future content. Let's explore these important topics together, with the understanding that everyone's experiences matter. Please like, share, and subscribe to the channel, and feel free to leave comments or questions. Your input is invaluable, and I hope this platform becomes a space for meaningful discussions. Thank you for being here!
