Hi, I’m Celina, and I have struggled greatly with my mental health for close to twenty years!

Truthfully, The Happy Hippy was bred out of frustration for the lack of awareness people had for the many faces of depression. When I would share how I was feeling, people would say, “You seem too happy to be depressed,” or “You smile a lot for a depressed person,” and it was maddening! So, I told myself I would create clothing that raises awareness and aids in the fight to break mental health stigma.

If I can ensure that just one person no longer suffers in silence, my mission will be complete.
