Being a Refugee, Coping with PTSD & Surviving Sexual Assualt with Miss Neira Designs

We're opening up about all things mental health (yet again), this time with our lovely friend, Neira Pekmez. Originally from Sarajevo, Neira was only 2 years old when her family fled Bosnia but still has many vivid memories of her childhood. From temporarily living in Croatia to attending primary school in Prague, her early memories are entangled with many of the side effects that come with PTSD.

On a lighter note, Neira also specializes in whimsical illustrations + designs.
