If not for the stigma around mental health, Diyah Najah could have gotten her ADHD diagnosis so much sooner than age 42. However if she had, she might not have become the mental health advocate she is today, lifting up her students and earning multiple masters degrees in special education that she uses to help students who are like she once was.

Listen to hear Diyah share how ADHD impacts her life, what tools she uses to regulate and reset herself, and how she stays authentically herself.
