"The Music of my life" - new book

Cleoni Crawford - a woman on a mission. Conqueror of challenges. Mental health advocate. A leader in her own right. Cleoni is a U of T and George Brown College graduate who has become a young, passionate and resilient entrepreneur on a mission to raise awareness about mental health by courageously telling her story in a new book entitled “The Music of My life.” Due to unfortunate circumstances that would take the lives of her sister and sister’s best friend, Cleoni’s struggle with bipolar disorder inspired her to take a leap of faith and devote her life to mental health awareness. 

Cleoni is no stranger to MEDIA!  She has been featured in 100 Huntley Street, Daytime Toronto on Rogers TV, the 2009 Summer Company Commercial, CTV, Global TV, CBC Radio, Toronto Life, Globe and Mail, Shimmerzine Magazine, the North York Mirror, Snap, the cover of the George Brown College Newspaper, The Dialog, The Pregnancy Care Centre Podcast, The Blind Stigma Podcast and the Marvia Providence Podcast.

Her journey to recovery has propelled her to further her studies at Centennial College in the Addictions and Mental Health program. Since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2006, she has been hospitalized 26 times, homeless, incarcerated, and suicidal. Despite this, she has taken her story to fuel her passion to give back as a mental health advocate and speaker. Through her life and her initiatives, she hopes that she will show others that a diagnosis is not a death sentence but in fact that you can strive, thrive and live an abundant life despite your illness.
