Before you step out today, pause.
Do a quiet breath-check. If it’s not giving “fresh,” fix it! There's no shame there. It's just hygiene.

These are some simple handy practices

1. Brush (for like 2 mins. Brush gently o! Your gums are nor cement blocks.
2. Scrape your tongue (this is where most odour hides)
3. Rinse after meals
4. Drink water regularly. Dry mouth provides a home for bacteria to party
5. Carry a dental floss, leave toothpick please. That stuff isn't good for your teeth! Trapped food turns toxic fast. So floss it away!

Bad breath isn't just another "smell mot,” it’s bacteria eating & releasing sulphur gases.
Simple habits will get you big upgrade and it's a flex in itself! 😉

Let your presence be remembered. Not your breath!

"The Schools are not safe. Universities are not safe. There's hardly anybody in the hospital who is not in school"

University of Sierra Leone Teaching Hospitals Complex

The magnitude of what we’re facing is heartbreaking. Sitting on the frontlines of Kush cases at the University of Sierra Leone Psychiatry Teaching Hospital, Kissy, I can’t help but shudder at the devastating toll this epidemic is taking. The reality goes far beyond something to be joked about or politicized, homes are shattered, families torn apart, and bright futures put on hold. This isn’t a topic for social media banter; it’s about the lives of young citizens being cut short and left to waste away.

Let’s pause and think. Five years from now, what will we be saying about this moment?

Watch out for our upcoming episode on Beyond the Hospital as we explore the devastating effects of Kush in Sierra Leone and hear directly from the experts who confront this crisis every day.
