Following Adwoa Aboah’s personal experience with mental health, Gurls Talk was formed with the goal of creating safe spaces – both on and offline – where gurls can access mental health resources, share their experiences, and support each other so they never feel alone or have to reach a breaking point.

By partnering with academic institutions and mental health experts, Gurls Talk seeks to provide accurate and accessible psychoeducation on a wide variety of topics relevant to our community. Through our programs, campaigns, resources, live events, and podcast, Gurls Talk works to destigmatize mental health conversations while fostering a supportive community that gives all gurls a voice.

At the heart of our story is the remarkable journey of supermodel and mental health advocate, Adwoa Aboah.

Adwoa Aboah was inspired to create Gurls Talk by her own mental health struggles as a teenager. She realized a safe space for girls and young women to come together, share experiences, and support each other was missing and urgently needed.

Gurls Talk is committed to providing a judgment-free space where girls and young women can freely express themselves. Gurls Talk has become a sanctuary for sharing experiences, accessing mental health resources, and building connections that go beyond the virtual realm.

Our community welcomes everyone who identifies as a "gurl," embracing non-binary young people and those exploring their gender identity. Through shared stories, valuable resources, and unwavering support, Gurls Talk ensures that no one feels alone on their mental health journey.

Join us as we continue to grow, thrive, and create a positive impact, one shared experience at a time. Together, we're redefining what it means to champion mental wellbeing for girls and young women everywhere.
