Human Mosaic: Experts warn of rising burnout as digital creators face pressure to stay relevant

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, experts, digital trainers and content creators gathered in Nairobi for a candid conversation on the realities of mental health in the fast-growing world of content creation.

The discussion, dubbed Human Mosaic, focused on the intense emotional pressure behind online fame and the importance of protecting mental wellness while building digital brands.

Standard Group health journalist Suleiman Kagwe, the brains behind the event, said it was inspired by the silent struggles many people face while navigating life, identity, careers and societal expectations.

"I wanted to create a platform where different voices, experiences and journeys could come together like pieces of a mosaic, to remind people that every story matters," Kagwe said, adding that the event was born out of a desire to inspire connection, learning, healing and growth.
