Ayanbinrin and Ara set to trade tackles
Mother-Drum Healing Arts Foundation Inc. is a non-profit Organization dedicated to utilizing the therapeutic, innovative and recreational process of arts to raise awareness and educate the general public about addiction and mental health challenges (both which feed off each other), which will in turn reduce/eliminate the stigma associated with the conditions as well as to enhance healing, offer and inspire hope to individuals struggling with and/or families affected by these conditions (mostly women and the girl child).
According to Tosin Olakanye popularly known as Ayanbinrin “the platforms will be used to accomplish the above set goals: festivals, exhibitions, trainings, round-table discussions, researches, pageantry, lectures, symposia, workshops, conferences and sundry.”
