Spreading message of positivity and wellness as a youth-led initiative 💌

https://www.instagram.com/areyouokie.sg/

I started Are You Okie (AYO) SG back in 2022, during the slight post-COVID period. It was a period where everyone was starting to get used to coming out into the world of post-COVID, getting used to the environment. It stemmed from another project that I was initially working on under Youth Action Challenge Season 1 in 2019. That project initially wanted to work on an immersive experience, using Virtual Reality, to spread awareness of Mental Health, but it fall short due to COVID.

Moving forward, AYO SG was born, targeted in looking at fostering a supportive environment and culture, in which mental well-being is prioritized. This was aimed to done through spreading the message on social media, with cute and relatable character design.

Thus, AYO SG main target group are youth between the age of 15-35, hoping to provide a safe and inclusive space where every individual are free to express themselves

Mission: To empower youths by fostering genuine connections and encouraging purposeful and intentional wellness practices

Vision: To foster a culture of support where well-being is prioritised and supported by everyone.

With my work at AYO as a co-founder, I decide on the strategic direction and creative directions of the brand. As of 2025, AYO SG had a total of 1k followers. Truly grateful and happy to have a team of enthusiastic youths that is willing to take this on. and bring the importance of wellness to the world. Since 2022, we had been through many ups and down, but I am glad everyone is here for each other - which is the space we aim to create.
