Kiana Fitzgerald is an American journalist, podcaster, DJ, and mental health awareness, advocate. I actually linked with her nearly a year ago after I read her fantastic piece on Kanye West’s public statements surrounding his bipolar diagnosis and how his unveiling of this was important for her own development. Kiana has a very active social media presence which she uses to share her personal experience of bipolar and de-stigmatise non-ordinary states of consciousness. Hearing her take on episodes of mania is something I find fascinating and beautiful and I think many of you will also! She describes these episodes as portals towards a deeper truth, and touching this truth has made her feel closer to God while eradicating a fear of death. Kiana’s honesty around this still misunderstood condition will certainly help expand one’s understanding.
