What's been going on?

'Neurodiversity in Colour' Workshop

Last month babes Kesi and Naomi hosted the first of many in-person Art workshops.

We explored our own ADHD and how it shapes our identity by creating flags that represent us, our struggles and our strengths.

We had a such a beautiful afternoon and cant wait for the next one.

Navigating ADHD as an Adult

Our founder Viv, ran a session on navigating ADHD as an adult collaborating with a newly opened and Black-owned creative hub BAU Studios.

This intimate in person discussion explored living with ADHD in adulthood.

Goodbye Hannah

After nearly two years working with ADHD babes hosting our Open Space Sessions Hannah will be leaving us to join a new community.

We want to take the time to thank Hannah for all the work and support she has given us.

We wish you the best on your new journey.

Sicklecell Awareness and Blood Drive

On Sunday 25th of September we invite you to donate blood in honor of Sicklecell awareness, supporting some of our fellow babes and wider community.

Details for the event will be out early September!

Keep an eye out for a special edition podcast where we discuss sicklecell, how it effects those who have it and how we can support them.

ADHD Babes: The Podcast

Have you had a chance to check out our podcast?

ADHD Babes: The Podcast • A podcast on Anchor

Every two weeks, we'll invite you to a new episode hosted by members of ADHD babes. Join them to share in their experiences of living with ADHD as a black woman or non binary person.

Listen while we interview special guests who will inspire them with knowledge and tools to help, both them and you, manage their ADHD.

Walk with them in their journey of learning about our wonderful brains and all the things that come with living in a world where you have to manage multiple intersectionality's.

Dear Babes

Our podcast will be dedicated to the issues faced by our listeners, so we invite our listeners to let us know what's going on and reach out for advice from our babes by: Our "Dear Babes," episodes will try to respond to as many messages as we can.
