Event Info

Unfiltered Minds is a mental health open mic where anyone can choose to get up and share a part of their story…maybe something they have never shared or something they have overcome. The whole goal is to create space where vulnerability can actually be practiced…in a place where it will be welcomed, so that it be celebrated and seen as a strength, versus something we shy away from.

Madina created this concept after filming for ABC’s The Bachelor where she opened up about something she felt insecure about, thinking it would be a beautiful time for others to relate and feel less alone. What she found instead was we still have a long way to go with celebrating vulnerability. Unfiltered Minds was created with the hope that fewer people would experience ridicule for being in touch with their feelings.
