Shavana Clarke

Shavana Clarke is a sales professional, entrepreneur, and pageant titleholder who earned her BFA from the University of Connecticut. Although her mental health journey originally began in middle school, she wasn’t diagnosed with borderline personality disorder until her 20s. She was able to enter a year-long continuing day treatment program that focused on both DBT and CBT and there she was able to learn skills, build community, and debunk her own bias of BPD. Now she is a proud BPD and mental health advocate who uses her social media and blog, #YourMentalHealthBestie to share her own experiences and educate about BPD and other mental health diagnoses with the hope of helping others.
