I had the chance to chat with In this conversation, Lucia Bawot, founder of SANA which is an integrative mental health care and wellness program for women in coffee farmers. During our conversation, we Lucia shared about the need that SANA is filling, her commitment to addressing the mental health crisis among female coffee farmers, and she shared about their approach. Sana's integrative approach combines therapy, education, and community support to empower women and improve their emotional well-being. Finally, Lucia shared her vision for the future of SANA and the impact she and the team is seeking to have on female coffee producers and the industry at large. Please enjoy my conversation with Lucia Bawot.
