In this episode, Scotland's Women chats to Thesia Kambabanza —stand-up comedian (Foxy Noir), and founder of the Banza Bridge Foundation — for an honest, moving, and very funny conversation about mental illness, faith, healing, and finding your light.</p><p>Thesia shares her journey from university breakdown to hospitalisation, from brokenness to comedy stages, and from surviving to truly thriving. She opens up about the stigma of mental health in African communities, how faith and spirituality carried her through her darkest moments, and why she believes healing is not a destination — it's a journey. And through it all, she brings a warmth and humour that will stay with you long after the episode ends.</p><p>This is a conversation about courage, self-love, and the light that was always inside you.</p><p><em>Full episode coming soon.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Connect with Thesia:</strong></p><p>TikTok | Instagram | Facebook: @TesiaBanza</p><p>Charity: Banza Bridge Foundation</p>","author_name":"Kirsten McKenzie"}
